Welcome back to Episode 5 of the Southern Comfort Tour, where we ride motorcycles from Nashville to Cave City Kentucky to explore the rich history of the area!
In this episode, we ride out to Mammoth Cave National Park to go explore underground and hear some incredible family history from Leticia Cline, who's great great uncle was Floyd Collins who was trapped underground in Sand Cave for 17 days! Leticia's family history runs deep in the area, and it was incredible to hear all of her stories along the way! Come along for the journey and enjoy the ride!

For this Trip, we decided to save some time and flew into Nashville versus riding there and back, and hopped on some @EagleRider rentals. Overall, it was a great experience and something a little different than our usual travels...good times!

ABOUT MAMMOTH CAVE NATIONAL PARK
Rolling hills, deep river valleys, and the worlds longest known cave system. Mammoth Cave National Park is home to thousands of years of human history and a rich diversity of plant and animal life, earning it the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve.
Mammoth Cave National Park is an American national park in west-central Kentucky, encompassing portions of Mammoth Cave, the longest cave system known in the world.
Since the 1972 unification of Mammoth Cave with the even-longer system under Flint Ridge to the north, the official name of the system has been the Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System. The park was established as a national park on July 1, 1941, a World Heritage Site on October 27, 1981, an international Biosphere Reserve on September 26, 1990 and an International Dark Sky Park on October 28, 2021.
The park's 52,830 acres (21,380 ha) are located primarily in Edmonson County, with small areas extending eastward into Hart and Barren counties. The Green River runs through the park, with a tributary called the Nolin River feeding into the Green just inside the park. Mammoth Cave is the world's longest known cave system with more than 420 miles (680 km) of surveyed passageways,[3][4] which is nearly twice as long as the second-longest cave system, Mexico's Sac Actun underwater cave.

[@baggerbuley]

For anyone who doesn’t know a badass KY band named Black Stone Cherry did a song called The Ghost of Floyd Collins. It rips and the songwriting is top notch! Rock on!

Been watching you guys for a while now and I think this Kentucky tour is your best work yet. The heritage of Leticias family with the caves was just awesome as we don’t get stuff like this Down Under. Keep up the rides everyone, just awesome!

[@2LaneLife]

Guys, loving the Southern Tour! I live in Louisville my wife’s people are from Cave City/Mumfordville she lost her mind when she saw the Ski’s (her favorite drink that’s not available in Louisville) Looks like a trip to see the Dive Bar this summer is going to happen.

[@CADDYLIFE69]

Love the dive! Did you all try the breathalyzer in the back. There’s was some guys seeing who could blow the highway number when I visit it back in the summer.

[@2LaneLife]

The Dive became our watering hole for the week haha. Josh and Gaylin went head to head on the breathalyzer. Long story short, Josh didn't ride home that night😂🤘

[@georgesmith6785]

Wish I’d known you were this close I woild have road up just to say hi. I am north of Nashville on the KY border

[@jeffreyjohnson6968]

If this is the southern comfort tour y’all shoulda gone to 1792 Barton distillery where southern comfort is bottled woulda gone hand and hand if they were still doing public tours

[@2LaneLife]

We thought about that but didn't end up making it out this trip. It's on the list next time we're in the area. Thanks for watching, Jeffrey!👍

[@jimbrettell1284]

Don’t know Josh or Leticias personal life and don’t want to sound rude but Josh and Leticia would make a great couple as they love riding everywhere and history stuff. Just saying and that’s how we see it from Australia 👍

[@abehatt7887]

It would be perfect. One lives in Kentucky one lives in California. Perfect relationship

[@2LaneLife]

😂
