Moaning Cavern Park and New Space

We started the day with another short meeting with Bill. He wanted to make sure everything was going well and said he wanted to move our fifth wheel into the permanent site. He also told us about some more things to see and do in the area. We took him up on one of the local attractions - The Moaning Cavern Park - that was only a few miles from here. I have also linked some reviews for these caverns which is must reading for anybody that is interested in different experiences. We didn't have time to do the tours since we had to get back for our move to a new site, but the attraction is one we will return to. I took some shots though that show a little bit about the caverns. The first one, of course, is the welcome sign:

The second picture is of the hole that you rappel down to get to the main chambers:

There were 5 teenagers getting ready to rappel down the hole, and I caught the first one:

This hole is about 15' deep and takes you to a landing that overlooks the main chamber which is about 400' deep. Not for me. There are also stairs that take you to the same landing. You can read the reviews which are enough to discourage anybody that is as claustrophobic or is afraid of heights like I am. Josie said she would like to do it.

Then there are the Zip Lines, which are outside and another, different kind of scary experience. You take a foot bridge over to a tower (below)

and you get placed into harnesses, given instructions, and sent down the line at a high speed. I was able to catch two people zipping by, and believe me,they were going fast:

There is an automatic braking system at the end, so you don't have to worry about landing at the other end. All in all, a very different experience.

After leaving the Moaning Caverns, we found a neat place at the edge of town to have lunch. It is called Frosty's, and they claim to have the best shakes this side of the state line. Josie and I each had a shake along with a couple of their special sandwiches and they were excellent.

It was then back to the campground where we got moved into our new site. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet because the site is a problem for us. There are some trees in front that block our satellite signal, and after moving the rig around a little on the site, we still had no signal. They have free cable here, but we weren't able to get a digital signal yet using it. We have some major decisions to make about our TV capability. That comes today...
