Highlight #2: Carter Caves

We visited Carter Caves State Resort Park located not far from Morehead, KY. It was a short drive. We set out with the purpose of sight-seeing at Cave Run Lake, when we found ourselves headed the opposite direction on the highway. Oh well... we figured we'd just check out the caves instead.

There are several caves at this park and they have regular tours for those who wish to encounter them. Some of them require hiking/caving gear and others are less invasive - just about anyone can handle them. We signed up for a leisurely tour of "X-cave," but found that there was about a 2 hour wait. We considered going horse-back riding and stopped to check out the stable. I took one whiff and said "It smells like a cow barn." It was nasty and the horses were pretty much a bunch of hags. It was sad. So - we opted to skip that idea.

Moving on, we found miniature golf. This would not be my idea of excitement, but killed some time. We were the only min-golfers there, so we weren't rushed. Keith kept score and cheated - he didn't give me as many strokes as I deserved on some of the holes. The longer we golfed, the lazier I got about even trying. Keith should be credited for TWO "Hole in Ones" though.
