Mammoth Cave
Mammoth Cave National Park - National Park Service
We went to Mammoth Cave National Park yesterday. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon. We took a hike, went down by the Green River and had a picnic lunch and splashed, then we went into The Cave.
The Cave wasn't as neato as I remembered it being in 1996; however, we did do a different cave tour this time, and it has been eleven years and LOADS of amazing wild west scenery since that day in May of '96.
Once again, I am at a crossroads in my life, and Mammoth Cave is part of this moment, the "ground zero" of "moving on." I was hoping something life-changing, amazing, astonishing, whatever, would happen today, as my last visit to Mammoth Cave augured meeting my husband.
But nothing happened today of any import. I got up and went to work. I know that I shouldn't have thought ANYTHING would happen...maybe something will happen yet, but I think that the real change agent in my life has been ME! Fortune favors the brave, and I have been fortunate that my bravery has served me well. You can't win if you don't play, ya know?
But I did decide yesterday, lunching lazily by the river, that I was going back and going canoing. It's only an hour and a half away, and totally gorgeous. Forget the cave.
