Kind of a failed field trip.

We planned to go to Mammoth Cave.  We had gone last year, took the 4 dollar per person self guided tour, on a Thursday and had a lovely day.  So this year, we set out on a Thursday, thinking we would do the same thing, but it turns out that budget cuts have eliminated the 4 dollar self-guided tour and now the least expensive tour is a Ranger-guided tour for 12.00.  We decided to just take a free looksee at the cave entrance and go on and do some other things we had planned to do in the area.  It was disappointing and one of the park rangers was very rude to me and I was pretty angry with her, but after we left there, we had a good day.  Tiring, but good.  We went to the Mystery Fun House, one of those things where the floors and walls are all crooked and water runs uphill, then to a really great salvage grocery store and then out for pizza.
