10-13.......Heading Home Part 2

10/12 - On Thursday morning we said good-bye to the Combs family and headed south.  On our way to Tennessee we stopped Mammoth Cave National Park and took a 2 hour tour through a very small portion of the 350 miles of caves and passages. 

The bus took us to a remote entrance in a wooded sink hole and we decended 250 feet on a maize of steps.  We then walked through different caverns and passes and ended up in an area referred to as Frozen Niagra.  The chamber was covered with stalactites dripping off the walls.  It was a fun, informative tour and a great break on the 7 hour drive to TN.  Here are a few pics from the tour:  Mammoth Cave Pics

After leaving the Caves, we headed to Ron & Barb Whynaucht's home in Fairfield, TN.  The Whynauchts were Sue & Randy's Wisconsin Rapids neighbors for 25 years.  We arrived around 7 pm and enjoyed a relaxing dinner with our hosts and headed early to bed.

10/13 - We rose to a beautiful valley view of the Cumberland Mountains.  Beautiful!!!  Our morning started out slowly.  After being in the car the day before we decided to take a walk around the hilly neighborhood of Fairfield Glade.  This area is  very new.  The majority of residents are retirees and the houses are as beautiful as the views.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing, playing cards and visiting.  And in the evening Tony & I made fajitas for our hosts.  Again, it was an early evening.  Saturday we plan to go boating.
