On Spelunking

​spe·lunk·ing
spəˈləNGkiNG/
noun NORTH AMERICAN
the exploration of caves, especially as a hobby.
Whenever we go on vacation, we are always up for finding things to do that are not necessarily on most people's to do list. Now, are not really hard core spelunkers, going off into the wilderness to find caves to explore. However, we have discovered there are often cave attractions to be found which provide for some interesting side trips.  

On our recent vacation to Nashville we found such a place.  We decided to take a little day trip north to the great state of Kentucky to visit the Lost River Cave in Bowling Green, KY.

I was a beautiful day.  We took the tour which included information about the cave and its history and an underground boat ride. 

There are also many walking trails, where you can see the "Blue Holes" and other sites.  On interesting thing was the Butterfly Habitat.  Although it was not open for the season yet we did get to meet one of the ladies involved in maintaining it and the surrounding garden.  We chatted about gardening and she pointed out the native columbine (Aquilegia Canadensis) which I had never seen.  I have columbine growing in my garden but these were red and yellow not purple like mine.  She promised to send my some seeds (which she did!) so I could plant them in my garden.

One more thing that must be said about the town of Bowling Green, KY is that it is one of the few cities in the country that is home to a species of white squirrel.  Now unfortunately we did not get a glimpse of a white squirrel but you can read about them here if you are interested. 

When we were heading out we decided to find someplace to eat.  We came across a fun place called Chaney's Dairy Barn, and yes, it was on a dairy farm.  The food was good but the homemade ice cream was fantastic!

All in all, we had a very fun time in Bowling Green, KY  and I got to cross another state off my bucket list.  If you are ever in the area, it is worth  the trip.

Have a fun day!
