Mammoth Cave National Park

I like caves. They're cool to me. Ever since I was a young kid I'd love to watch the bats at dusk. When I lived in Missouri, my dear friend and I visited them and it was so romantic and I got my first cave kiss.

DREAM ADVENTURE NUMBER TWELVE: visit the Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System

Mammoth Cave National Park is a U.S. National Park in central Kentucky, encompassing portions of Mammoth Cave, the longest cave system known in the world. The official name of the system is the Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System for the ridge under which the cave has formed. The park was established as a national park on July 1 1941. It became a World Heritage Site on October 27 1981, and an international Biosphere Reserve on September 26, 1990. The park's 52,835 acres (21,382 ha) are located primarily in Edmonson County, Kentucky, with small areas extending eastward into Hart County and Barren County. It is centered around the Green River, with a tributary, the Nolin River, feeding into the Green just inside the park. With a confirmed 365 miles of passageways it is by far the world's longest known cave system, being well over twice as long as the second longest cave system..."
