Red Hot Mama64 viewsI needed to drop a travel bug off that I had picked up at Lost River Cave since I am going in the wrong direction for it's mission. I found the Almost Out of Bounds geocache near Mammoth Cave National Park with this travel bug in it. It wants to rack up some miles so is going along with me for the ride to Missouri.

Cave ballroom63 viewsThe ballroom was used up through the sixties for many local dances, proms, weddings, etc. It has a stone bar and bandstand. At one point so many people were going there for a drink and to get cool that the other bar owners got a law passed that liquor could not be sold below ground. LOL

Sand Cave63 viewsFamous cave explorer Floyd Collins died inside here February 13, 1925 and is buried nearby. While exploring alone, he knocked a rock loose that pinned him in a tight passage. While he was found by friends and family the next day alive, there was a cave-in a few days later that cutoff rescuers from him. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Collins for more of the story. I have actually seen the movie inspired by this, Ace in the Hole, with Kirk Douglas.
