Mammoth Cave National Park, renown for its underground tributaries, actually has 70-some odd miles of backcountry trails to explore as well. We decided to piece a bunch of them together to circumnavigate the park (of course we visited the caves too).
We didn't pay a lot of attention to calculating the mileage, and we ended up at our campsite for the night at lunchtime...so we pushed on.
I won't name names, but someone in our party decided it would be a good idea to soak his right foot and right gloved hand when crossing this creek. Here's to wet gear!
We ended up camping in the floodplains of the Second Creek and Nolin River juncture that first night, sheltered by the wind that was coming up the ridge we had just descended.
The next day we crossed several streams. Some were dry crossings - like Wet Prong.....and some were wet - like Dry Prong. Go figure.
The next night we made our way to the Bluffs campsite, passing our water source coming off the rocks shown here along the way.
The Bluffs made a great campsite.
