Goto Trip Page: Robin, to the Mammoth Bat Cave
 

I will be hiking on this trip regardless of the weather. Some may remember the last experience. Too much rain!

OK folks, I need an idea of when you can make this trip. Weekends are as follows.

3-5
10-12
17-19
24-26

I am thinking more torwards the last 2 sets of dates. I will be taking Thursday and Friday off for this. Plan on car camping at the headquarters campground Thursday and then meeting up Friday around 9 or so.

I will have more info to post, but if anyone has general questions, please ask.

I guess I should have explained what the hell it is I am talking about here.

Did I mention Mammoth Cave National Park? OK, so I am a little slow this morning. Just getting some coffee into my system now so give me 30 minutes.

So the trip is to Mammoth Cave for a couple days

A month would be good.

Mammoth is only about 4 hours from me, so it's very doable. I heard it gets kinda dry in the summer though.

Yes. The coffee is starting to kick in now.

OK, so the trip in in September.

Anything else I left out?

The 31st and 32nd works best for me.

It could still be hot in September, but I'm up for it. We do need to get this settled soon, so I can plan the weekend before my wife does.

I'd prefer the 10-12 or 24-26.

The 10-12 is not going to work for me. I will be in Memphis on the 9th with the wife.

It looks like 24-26 may work.

WK - You win the 'Most Awkwardly Constructed Thread Start' Award for this month.

Of course we smarta$$es would never point that out. ;-)

Yea Stovie, I know. This is the first trip I have ever planned so I will get it right next time.

I don't know, I have not heard from him. I would go with what Bit said.

Good Hub! It sounds like that is the weekend the trip will be. I have to get the OK from work and wife, neither should be a problem.

If I wasn't going to be out of town on business that weekend I might give this one a try. If it's 4 hrs from bit then it's 6 hrs from me. I'll be in New Orleans that weekend. Dang.

Sorry Stik!

Free - sounds good. I will be posting more about this in early July. Wraping up our fiscal year end here so I have had little time to think, let alone breathe.

Hope you can make it out!

Ruby, if Moose-a-palooza is moved to Sept. 19th-24th, won't that conflict with this trip? I want to do both, so I'm wrestling with this issue.

Darn it! You're right! Your powers of observation are obviously better than mine. I want to do both, too. Maybe it can still happen.
