A lot of poor man make a five dollar bill
Keep him happy all the time
Some other fellow makin' nothing at all
Any you can hear him cry
Can I go buddy, Can I go down
Take your shift at the mine
Gotta get down to the Cumberland Mine
Hit the road early
We hit the Waffle House in some town along the way to eat their version of the "Grand-Slam" Breakfast. Like wolves we set upon the food after eating pistachios & Cliff bars for dinner last night
A Stop at Cumberland Gap to watch a movie and hike a few miles. Learned a bit about old Daniel Boone and others before him. Native American viewpoint not a major focus of the history lesson.
Oh well. Very scenic beauty from the Pinnacle.
Push onward and arrive at Mammoth Cave Campground just before dark. Manage some peanut butter (Peter Pan Super Chunk) and a couple of bananas at the camp store before they close.
Don't even bother pitching the tent for the 2 nights we stay.
Next morning rise and shine for a 5 mile walk around the perimeter of the Visitor Center property. Plenty to see including a few sinkholes and a couple of caves. Also the Green River.
Take me back down where cool water flows
Let me remember things I don't know
I guess that about sums it all up
Oh, they have lots of caves at Mammoth Cave Park.
But no mammoths whatsoever.
