To the caves!

So, Monday we decided to go caving! And boy, glad we did. We traveled about 2 hours to McMinnville via Murfreesboro (where stopped at "Maple Street Grill" for our lunch... right across from the City Hall... which made for super photo ops! sorry, none in this post). We finally made it to the Cumberland Caverns.

Very, very cool.... in more ways than one. We were approx 350 feet underground and walked a bit more than a mile into the cave system. Temperature was a constant 56... 99% humidity.... didn't feel chilly at all cuz of the humidity plus, it was a great escape from the 90+ degrees outside.

The actualy cave system is 32 miles... with lots and lots of caves. We were only in the commercial part, ie touristville. Small group of us went through. When we got to the end, they turned off the lights... sooooooooo dark and soooooo quiet... If your interested in more, the web site is
