Day 110
On the way back to Mammoth Cave NP, we see more deer. Today we took the 10:00 Grand Avenue Tour which is 4 hours and 4 miles. It is rated “difficult” and the rangers almost seem to try to talk you out of going if there is any question whether you can make it 4 hours. The tour was exciting and although lots of steps and up and downs, it was no problem. After a late lunch and a bit of a rest, we hiked the Cedar Sink Trail, a 2 mile trail around an old sinkhole. Dinner at the Mammoth Cave Hotel Restaurant was Jim Beam honey cured pork tenderloin with turnip-cornbread cheddar casserole, field peas and butter beans and grain mustard demi was fantastic. A Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout from Lexington Brewery Co. turned out unexpectedly to be a coffee stout. Biscuits served at the table with black raspberry jam were delicious and we ate them at the beginning of the meal and the end as dessert. Another great day but I expect to sleep pretty well tonight.
