CAVES, LAKES & Corvettes Caves, Lakes & Corvettes Put pedal to the metal and get “mud in your blood” on colossal adventures both above and beneath your feet. Mammoth Cave Wonders Above & Below Yeah, you’ll get “mud in your blood.” That’s what caving does. Once you’ve belly-crawled along a tunnel or squeezed through ancient rock formations deep in the earth, you may become a spelunking junkie. But never fear, casual visitors can take more leisurely guided walking tours that are every bit as exciting. History, Thrills & Cake In a land marked by caves and valleys, it’s not surprising to nd prehistoric creatures. Lumbering amidst the trees at Cave City’s Dinosaur World are replicas of hundreds of these great beasts, plus a museum with prehistoric fossils – both cast and real. Then, soak up exquisite beauty in a tree-lled garden and a museum of ne and decorative arts at the Baker Arboretum and Downing Museum in Bowling Green. Described as “a grand, gloomy and peculiar place” by Stephen Bishop, a former enslaved cave guide, Mammoth Cave is an underground journey into the marvelous and mysterious. Curiosity brings visitors into the shadows of this subterranean labyrinth, as well as other nearby caves: Hidden River, Crystal Onyx, Mammoth Onyx and Outlaw (once a hideout for Jesse James). You’ll nd even more fun at amusement parks, zip lining adventures and a museum to learn about pioneering food critic (and cake mix maker) Duncan Hines. Plus watch robotic milkers at two dairy barns, sip at wineries, visit a nationally recognized raceway and take a “real scary tour” connected to villain Michael Myers of Halloween movie fame. 80 1-800-225-8747
