it’s Mammoth alright!

After our first night free camping we decide that would be great idea to go the Corvette museum cause it is one of America's best known sports cars. Inside the museum (as you might imagine) were a whole lot of cars, old cars. In the start was a movie on how they made the cars. Did you know it was almost all done by robots. There were heaps old cool things to like a pit stop challenge that the others like doing, and heap of quizzes that I wasn’t that good at! This photo is of a '53 'vette - only 300 were made in the very first year of manufacture, all were white with red leather seats.

Me Amy and Emma played on the grass doing flick flacks, hand stands and what not while mum and dad got the tickets for the tour cave tour called New Entrance. Inside the cave we walked single file down the 280 stairs to an open area were the guy told us all the facts about the cave - like the man who first found the cave was chasing a bear and it ran into the old entrance. (We went in the new one). As we carried on up he turned off the lights and it was so dark it was unbelievable I have never been anywhere so dark! There was a cave wetas and lots of funny shaped rocks. Quite a lot like Waitomo Caves just heaps bigger with miles and miles of steel stairs and railings & the paths are really well made. The ranger told us that it was all build in the 30's during the great depression - the workers were mostly teenagers and were paid $1 per day. This is how the saying "another day, another dollar" started. There were no glow worms. Mammoth Caves is the largest known cave system in the world with 300 miles of known tunnels and another 600 miles suspected to exist. It is also a world heritage site - no hunting is allowed so we saw heaps of wild dear and turkeys running around!

At the campsite my sisters and I made a fire in a fire pit, that we all sat around… Dad told us a saying… you will never pass this way again… which is so true… I will remember that moment for ever... along with Mammoth Caves!

Keep those comments coming, we love hearing from you all - even Emma's fan club!
