Our next leg south was a short one, traveling only down to Cave City, KY. We visited Mammoth Cave long ago when Melissa was young, so this time we saw things we didn’t see then. The first stop was the National Corvette Museum. As you would expect, the place is filled with stories, memorabilia, and of course, many, many Corvettes! The most interesting story is the on February 12, 2014, eight Corvettes fell into a sinkhole that formed under the museum when a small cave ceiling collapsed and form the sinkhole. All eight cars were pulled out of the hole, and are now displayed in almost the exact places where they originally stood. Three of them have been completely restored to like new condition, but the others are too damaged to restore. They are on display are they were the day they were pulled out, showing what happens when tons of rock fall onto a car. We also visited the Lost River Cave. This is the largest opening to a cave east of the Mississippi, and is always full of water so you ride into the cave on a boat.
