Albuquerque KOA Kampground
30 mars 2017, États Unis ⋅ ☀️ 3 °C
We had our first bone head mistake of the trip, we lost our 30 amp power cord.
It seems that we didn't latch the rear hatch of the teardrop when we left Lake Havasu. On the way to the Grand Canyon, the hatch opened up on the highway. We didn't think we lost anything. Our box of wine was still there 😅 No electric hook-up at Grand Canyon, so we didn't realize what had happened until we got to Albuquerque and couldn't find the electrical cable.
The KOA campground was kind enough to lend us one.
We'll have to buy one at an RV store along the way.
Next stop, OK City.
Update: There was an RV store along couple of blocks from the KOA where we had a 15% off coupon for the cable. It was still an expensive mistake.En savoir plus

We had our 2nd bone head mistake of the trip. We left our 2 outdoor mats on the picnic table of the Memphis campground when we left for Mammoth Cave 😣
We dropped the camper at the site and went straight to the visitors center just in time to catch a short tour that was starting in 5 minutes. Tour was led by ranger Rick and went through historical entrance.En savoir plus

Mammoth Caves National Park

Did the Domes and Dripstones tour today; yesterday evening, we did the Mammoth Passage tour that took us in the historic entrance.
Some heavy downpour rains in the evening; tent go a little wet inside, but teardrop was mostly dry except for vent we left open.
Went to a Mexican restaurant bar to watch final of NCAA men's basketball, but had to leave before the end because it was closing time. We had to check our phones to learn the unfortunate outcome 😣En savoir plus

Voyageur Mammoth Caves has > 400 miles of mapped passages. The longest cave on earth. The yellow lines on the map are the cave passages. Many more passages are expected to be discovered in the future.

Racoon Cave
5 avril 2017, États Unis ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Did the 3 1/2 hour cave tour. Only those with adventurous spirit and decent shape should do this. Forget about it if you are claustrophobic!!! Many very tight places we had to squeeze through. We had to turn our heads sideways as we crawled through the "pancake" so our helmet wouldn't get stuck.
Lots of water. We saw water falls and had to walk through a stream for a little bit.
Needless to say, but loved it 😍En savoir plus
