Dad update and Mammoth Cave

That picture to the left is Tim and me at Mammoth Cave today.  But first, an update on my Dad.  After much discussion among 3 different specialists, they decided to not put in the pacemaker.  They believe his ‘electrical problem’ is not serious enough, so they will be doing a stress test tomorrow to be absolutely sure he doesn’t need one.  Thank you so much for your prayers for him – he is obviously doing much better!

We had to drop off our camper this morning due to some more brake problems (front ones this time – last time it was back brakes).  We then went to Mammoth Cave, and about 10 minutes before we arrived at the Visitor’s center it started lightly snowing.  The kids were just loving it!  When we got there they tried to catch the snowflakes on their tongues, but it was so light they couldn’t even really see it.  It never stuck to the ground and it stopped shortly after it started, but they still enjoyed seeing it.  The caves were really cool, seeing the stalagmites and stalactites, and the layers and layers of rock.  I can’t remember how many miles of caves they had, but there are like 5 or 6 layers of caves deep in an area about 7 miles x 7 miles.  We went down to layer 3 (I believe that’s what they said) and spent most of our time there.  The park itself was pretty deserted, which I thought was interesting because the weather outside really doesn’t affect the weather in the caves – it’s always pretty much the same – in the low 50’s. But they said they typically have tours consisting of up to 120 people in the summer, and our tour only had 8 people (our 6 plus another couple).  We felt like we had our own private tour!  Here are some pictures of our time inside the cave:

Before we left to drive back, we called the place that was working on our camper who said they would have to keep it until tomorrow.  So we were scrambling trying to figure out if we had to get a hotel room or invade our friends’ house, but when we got there we discovered it was drivable, thank God!  So we’re in it tonight, but have to drop it off before 9am.  Hopefully, they’ll have it done by 1pm and then we’ll continue our southerly direction and take off towards Alabama!

What a "Father" time you are having! Highs and lows and He is there. So glad your Dad has improved. I pray he will take care of himself!

Did you hear the news of New York? Snow blizzards and rush hour traffic. Multiple pile-ups and the traffic was stopped. The news spoke with one women who had been in her car for a TOTAL of 11 hours. I thought of you-all and was glad you were not in IT!!!!!!!

May you be blessed with a good trip back "home"...
