Our 1st Kentucky Cave

A couple of weeks ago, when we had a clear day to wander, we decided to go see a not so busy cave about 45 minutes from our park.

It's called Cub Run Cave and it is a privately owned cave system. Several people had told us about it, as it's a very easy cave to tour.

The whole cave has a wooden boardwalk that allows visitors to get into some diffucult places. It only has a few real steps in the cave and the rest is a nice easy and gradual slope up and down.

Well, they were right. It's pretty amazing to see this Cave, that most people don't even know about.

I won't bore you with a lot of description, except that Cub Run is what they call a "wet cave" that is still oozing water from the limestone and building stalactites (from the ceiling) stalagmites (from the ground) and columns that actually reach from floor to ceiling.

With that said, here are some pics of the cave that Connie and I both took.

Hope you like em.

Called Cave Bacon

The cave is open May 1st-Sept 27, but they will give tours for groups.

We actually drove right to the cave entrance and parked for the tour. Here's the GPS stuff for the Gift Shop (where you need to register for a tour).
lat. 37.317759°, Lon -86.091177°

I really recommend it if you're in the area and have some time on your hands. It took us 1-1/2Hrs, but only because a bunch of people asked a bunch of questions. Jeff (our guide) answered them all.
