GeoWoodstock/Louisville Part 3

Having been beat down by the previous day's heat, our Sunday trip home was going to be spent doing activities that were not out in the sunshine (or so we thought).  After grabbing breakfast, we headed south and stopped in Shepardsville to tour the Jim Beam Distillery.  It was an okay historical tour, but fell far short of the tour of the Jack Daniels' Distillery in Lynchburg, TN.  After the tour, we did locate the earthcache Drive-By Geology as we hit the highway south.

By mid-afternoon, we had arrived in Bowling Green, Kentucky and decided to check out The Lost River Cave.  Though the boat tour was a bit pricey, all of the funds do go back into the maintaining the area, so it still seemed like money well-spent.  There were several caches in the park, but we had bypassed a couple before I realized they were there.  We did, however, find four of the caches located there, including Caching in the Cave: Lost River Spring, which was my favorite of the ones we found.  It involved climbing a short embankment and weaving to the top of a spring feeding the river system.

At this point, we were spent and headed back home.
