This morning was another day of drama. Bill and Greg at first did not want to make the loop to Mammoth Cave National Park. After a short discussion Greg was on board. Bill was not. He needed a day off and was not up for a 80 mile day. We encouraged him to not take the loop and take a rest day and it appeared that is what was going to happen. But before we entered into the loop Bill changed his mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most days we were dodging cloudy skies with the potential for rain. It was also cooling off during the day. On the trip today was saw camels at farm, Amish buggies, kangaroos, and goat with his head stuck in a fence. Greg, being the cowboy he is, jumped to the rescue and freed the goat from his entanglement. We noticed that once we got onto the loop road that the terrain was not as hilly and made very good time to Cave City. We contemplated stopping at Munfordville but Greg was the one that wanted to push on for the last 12.2 miles. Sue and I were up for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we arrived in Cave City the first three hotels that we stopped at were being used for long term stays by people and families that were displaced because of unfortunate economic situations. We did manage to procure rooms at a Sleep Inn near interstate 65 and close to a Cracker Barrel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s stats: total mileage 81.14 miles, elevation gain 3720 feet, elevation descent 3862 feet, average speed 12.8 mph, max speed 35.2 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
