Thank you for your support

/ travelingrobert
We arrive at the state of Kentucky, and visit Mammoth Cave National Park. We take the tow-hour long Domes and Dripstones tour, which takes us through the so-called "new entrance" to the cave. Then we continue on our journey towards Louisville, passing by Hodgenville, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln but we don't actually visit the historical site. Instead, we stumble upon one of Abe's boyhood homes. We then continue towards Loretto, where the Maker's Mark distillery is located.

Thank you for the praise of our great state. Those of us who live here grew up with the jokes about everyone being backwoods and hicks, but we have always been proud of our home, as it has a lot of great sites to visit, outdoor activity, and amazingly friendly people. I've traveled from coast to coast, and have been to many beautiful places such as Washington State, Montana, Northern California, etc.. But there is no place like home. Truly enjoyed your video and thank you for allowing others to see the beauty of Kentucky.

i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me

[@ahmaddavis295]

@Jaiden Kalel instablaster ;)

[@jaidenkalel1312]

@Ahmad Davis I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jaidenkalel1312]

@Ahmad Davis It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out !

[@ahmaddavis295]

@Jaiden Kalel Glad I could help =)

[@trishaluke8802]

If you are interested in more caves, there is Carter Caves in Kentucky and Marengo Caves in southern Indiana. Both are awesome.

[@CarlosGunX]

Gracias, Roberto.. I drove to Mammoth Park from Miami in a custom van , back in 1987. stayed there a week, and loved the area so much that I wanted to move there...Finally in 2005, after 40 years in Miami, I was able to moved to Tennessee ( south of KY) ......Thumbs up and subbed...

[@gardensofthegods]

CarlosGunX A lot safer during hurricane season that's for sure .

[@BadDaddyB]

Your voice is awesome! I love this park, came here as a kid. Thank you.

[@gladysordona7743]

Love watching a lot same as my mom...She got stroke but now enjoying all ur videos!

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you, glad you both like them

[@gladysordona7743]

Yes me and mom loves all ur videos...Mom always wants me to open the tv just to see all ur videos...It helps her..She cannot walk all alone now since she got stroke,what i mean she cannot go of the house of her own,i need to help her..But now she is enjoying all ur videos so her life is not that boring anymore..Thank u for sharing all your adventures...

[@gardensofthegods]

Gladys So sorry your mom is going through this... I'll say a quick prayer for your mom and I do believe in the power of Prayer. Gladys... I hope you will take a few minutes to look into what I'm going to tell you about NATURAL WAYS to help SPEED UP your mother's recovery. There is an all-natural product out there that is very cheap that will INCREASE the OXYGEN to your mother's BRAIN... I can't remember if it's by 300% or but it's a huge number. It is called HARITAKI.. also sometimes it goes by the name of HARDE... and usually can be found in powdered form at many Indian Pakistani Grocers. The only thing is it is absolutely vile tasting and reminds me of powdered sawdust. I hope you will take time to look into this great ancient healer as well as another one called AMLA.. which you can also get in a powder and has at least 30 times more vitamin C than citrus... vitamin C is important because of the donor cells which you can look up... they are a major factor in healing.. Some people actually go and get vitamin C transfusions from doctors. The brand I usually get for these is called Vedic Secrets. If you don't have a local Indian Grocers you can probably find them online. Another powerful neurological healer and protector that you can either grow very easily or find on the internet is called BUTTERFLY BLUE pea tea... the vine looks a lot like a morning glory... beautiful blue and will turn the tea water blue... it must steep for about 20 minutes . When or IF your mom gets to the point that she can do squats..( or maybe be assisted with doing them ) please see the video on Super Brain yoga... the one that is 4 minutes 18 seconds long and it's a segment from a news cast. It helped me immensely when I had bad memory loss... superbrain yoga has been around for thousands of years and helps with all kinds of neurological problems. In that vid you will see a neurologist and also several teachers talking about healing their students of everything from ADD hyperactive even problems with autism and other neurological problems . If you can get her to start to do a few and then gradually increase so that she can do several sets of repetitions a day she will see best results in healing her brain.. And then while I'm telling you all this you might want to look at the channel by Motivationaldoc... he has several videos that show you how to do what's called electrical bombardment of the suboccipital part of the brain.... which has a lot to do with neuro- logical healing and correction also. I can't think of what it's called it's something like "do this for 20 seconds with a hairbrush "..or "do this for 30 seconds with a hairbrush. " That video might be the first place to start since it is so darn easy . You can find videos on all of these things that I told you about. There is also a type of breathing called Pranayama breathing which also gives a lot of OXYGEN to the brain so please look it up and see if your mom would be interested in doing it. Sorry this is really long and if your mom gets really great results just pass on the information to others in need .

[@gmaneis]

This is the best video of Mammoth Cave I have ever seen! Your camera is amazing, making the viewer see the cave almost as well as in person. I've been there 7 times in my long life. If you have a chance, you need to return and take one of the natural entrance tours. The Lantern Tour is magnificent. Your views of Kentucky are beautiful, too. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your work, Robert. It is really well done.

[@gsp49]

As much money as the park service is making on that cave you would think they could install better lights, it was so dim at main entrance you couldn't read the story boards, I had to shine my flashlight to see where I was stepping. Worse than ridding at night in a car with dark tinted windows.

[@davespangenburg8015]

Been there it's like you said magnificent

[@OhioTravelswithKris]

My GGG grandfather owned Mammoth Cave in the 1850s.. there's the bottomless pit and "Gorin's " dome

[@TravelingRobert]

Wow, that's cool.

[@OhioTravelswithKris]

yea, one of my only claims to fame.. that tour u took used to be called the Frozen Niagara tour.. He had it during the time of the famous guide, Stephen Bishop.. (who later was "trapped" in the cave

[@ghopkins7928]

Interesting...thanks

[@ThaiGirlAdventures]

Wow you best video Robert I love and enjoy watching you video.

[@TravelingRobert]

[@Walt1119]

Great vid Robert. That area is one of my favorite, really appreciate at the end of the video you putting the dates it was taken!!!!! Thanks !! W.

[@mymercyembracesallthingsqu7124]

I've been to mammoth cave around cave city. was a quite interesting !

[@innam3861]

night sky timelapse is amazing👍I wish you'd filmed more...thanks😊

[@JoeSpadesTT]

I went to Mammonth Cave about 2 months ago. And I did 2 tours, the regular Historic Tour, and I did one of the harder tours called the "Intoduction to Caving Tour", where we put on headlamps and coverralls, and went down off the path into the more wild parts of the cave. It was quite fun!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Joseph Carroll Sounds like a fun your to take. Maybe I'll do that one next time.

[@PhilFeedback]

Pretty Cool video, thanks for posting this video. My wife and I are at Park city right now. Today we went to the Frozen Niagara tour at Mammoth cave

[@TravelingRobert]

Cool, loved Mammoth Cave

[@PhilFeedback]

Traveling Robert. Thanks very much! I appreciate it very much

Thank you!

[@chrisr6157]

Enjoying your travels!! Thank you for sharing the cave and the beautiful countryside of KY! I look forward to your next video!

[@TravelingRobert]

+Chris R Thank you. I anticipate next travel video in 10 days.

[@RobertLWard]

Awesome..always watch the newest addition to your video collection..Great video

[@gopaljayaraman6594]

Super. No word to express. Great Mr Robert

[@shakerLT]

Great video! PBS and the Travel channel should be kicking down your door with a T.V. contract. Excellent background music! Your narration is thorough and very well researched. I can tell you put alot of effort in making a cool video. It's also an added bonus to the viewer when the narrator sounds like the Dos Equis man. Who of course is the "most interesting man in the world",according to the beer commercials I see on Television from time to time....lol. Nice work my freind!

[@TravelingRobert]

+shaker LT1350 Thank you so much. I love doing this.

[@gardensofthegods]

shaker LT1350 I love his videos too I only just discovered them less than 2 hours ago ... but I think his voice does not match his face because his voice reminds me of Klaus Kinski something about it. And his movies his voice always sounded deeper oddly enough when I found him one David Letterman he talks in a much higher voice naturally. I think Robert would be very good at doing voice-over work especially for films and animated movies... especially doing the voice of a villain , haha.

[@davidandmercywhipple]

One of the nicest natural places to visit in Kentucky!

[@f5debris]

Awesome job.

[@robertcrummel4111]

Never disappoint, Robert. Would enjoy a longer version when & if your up to it ! Your lucky to have someone to travel with that enjoys the trip as much as you do ! Happy trails, as Roy would say.

[@leotacoakley7229]

Thank you Robert. Enjoyable video

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@CrazyBoutFishin2380]

Great job with the movie. What's funny is the way you talk about and the music it reminds me of something that you'd see in between episodes of Three's Company. Good stuff.

[@Adry53customs]

this video opens my eyes to look at how beautiful it is to live outside indonesia.. feels like i wanna join your trip

[@TravelingRobert]

+Timothy Adry (Adry53) Thanks!

[@mikec6868]

I really need to adapt your style of travel.. I have passed Mammoth Cave so many times and have never stopped. I need to slow down and take a look around. I'm missing so much! Thanks Robert!!!

[@averagecampers]

Nice video Robert We enjoyed watching your trip :)

[@deebo-nt2jz]

[@sheilarevels2890]

Great tour with your own explanation. Was not boring st all. I enjoyed.... thanks for your interview. Music nice. This is like National Geograhic! ...Lol

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Glad you liked it

[@bill739123]

I was there about thirty years ago and never forgot it . Great place. No mention of the peanut butter that was stored there in the 1960 s

[@ianjustiz8968]

Man, I wish I could travel as much as you can!

[@jamesfarnham1976]

That was a "Moonshine" delivery you had to wait for. LOL.

Very beautiful Bob, thanks for sharing.

[@bobbiestafford1088]

Great music in the video as usual, Robert, especially inside the Cave. Made me feel like I was in an Indiana Jones movie .. Looking forward to ur visit to Louisville.

[@rvingmontanezway103]

Cool Place to go visit thanks again is in my list now thanks Robert

Great Video Rob.

[@lightworrior4401]

Nice video view position sir . God bless you

[@florianreichelt]

This is so nice!:)

[@mirizedkapadia4699]

At 0:41 - 'NICEST RESTROOMS on I-65! NEXT EXIT-RIGHT' I can imagine this sign being in a horror flick. LOL The video was a visual treat as usual. There is just so much greenery there and the entire region looks so beautiful and soothing!! Loved it.

[@TravelingRobert]

+Mirized Kapadia Thanks! I love Kentucky.

[@criminalmastermind8]

Awesome vid! Mammoth Cave was my first national park. We did the Frozen Niagara tour and visited Lincoln Heritage House in Elizabethtown a week before it burned down (in 2009). I would love to get back and visit again, especially now that I have a much better camera!

[@Cro4tm4n73]

Kentucky backroads including Cave City and New Haven, both seem like a place I could live in. Great video, man!!! Keep on making them.

[@TravelingRobert]

I loved that area. I wish I had more time to experience it with a little more depth.

[@Cro4tm4n73]

You will next time, I'm sure. Best regards.

[@whiskeytangofoxtrot9403]

Try Carlsbad Caverns New Mexico. If you are feeling really adventurous they have more than the main cavern but you have to schedule that separately.

[@jake2213b]

I went to that cave around first of March. The tour have a limit of 400 people. We had less then 25. I was the best tour that I have ever been on.

[@JesseGonzalez-ip7uw]

Nice video Robert I enjoyed the caves

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you!

[@airsoft69]

fantastic vlog as always

[@TravelingRobert]

Thanks!

[@TravelingRobert]

Hey, thanks!

[@vg5157]

+TravelingRobert Sunday breakfast is our visit to your channel , good luck !!

[@travish194]

That spider was being so awkward 😂 "Maybe they can't see me..." Would have hated getting stuck right next to it! Great video, though! I agree, I really do not like how large of a tour group they do.

[@carliejohnson5203]

yes u are right in my backyard i go past diamond caverns almost every day

[@TravelingRobert]

Cool. loved the area. Might be back soon

[@SquirmyFeetExplores]

Your expression on the spider made me laugh. Love this video! You answered some of my question - the campground, cellphone coverage, etc. Mammoth will be our 3rd National Park out of 59. Yeah! My husband and I will try to complete it. Big goal! We are very excited. Thanks again for the video!

[@TravelingRobert]

+SquirmyFeet Explores Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and found it useful.

[@SquirmyFeetExplores]

TravelingRobert I did! And you are right...that tour was too crowded!

[@natemcdonagh3760]

Omg I think I got a burger from the same store when I visited there that you past

[@lionhart2728]

good job

[@RCTPatriot75]

If they made the tours smaller people would complain about how hard it would be to reserve a desired time.

[@almamorales4158]

Mammoth Cave is an interesting place. Good video, beautiful countryside of KY.

[@RedJaguar100Travels]

Hi Robert, I loved the video,you have a way of making a person feel like they are right there with you. You mention a camper van a few times, Are you thinking about changing up?

[@TravelingRobert]

I'm not going to change for now. Can't really afford it unless we get something really old. But when we sell the house and decide to go full time I would love to be able to downsize into a small class B. 19 to 21 feet long is the magic number because you can park it pretty much anywhere. We'll see. Storage space might be a problem but I'm sure we will figure it out. Thanks again. I love doing this.

[@kenleachman5476]

Robert just found your videos love them me and my girlfriend just bought a 16-foot FB Coleman travel trailer and enjoying it if you're ever in the Kissimmee area I would recommend Tropical Palms RV Resort

[@TravelingRobert]

+Ken Leachman Hi. Thank you! I was there this last December, just one night though. It is towards the end of my Mount Dora video. I might return for the Epcot food and wine festival.

[@cornerstonebullies6163]

I did the wild cave tour years ago when I was 16... waaay better than the regular tour, smaller groups no more than about 10 or 12 ppl, and you go way off the beaten path. I will say it's not for the claustrophobic 😁 knee pads required lol

[@dvferyance]

You took a pass on the Corvette Museum which I visited last year. I would highly recommend it as well as the plant tour but I guess you can't see everything. I saw Mammoth Cave on a previous trip.

[@TravelingRobert]

+dvferyance I went right past it. No time to visit this time around but it is definitely on the list.

[@dvferyance]

I understand when you do a trip you only have time to do so much. I did Mamouth cave and Lincoln's birthplace on another trip then did the Corvette Museum later. When I was there in May of 2015 the sinkhole was fixed but the area was still closed to the public kind of disappointing.

I bet it was kinda cool in those caves ? Maybe BATMAN wil jump out and say..who the hell are you people ?? LOL

[@MarkTheLostTraveler]

I Just started following you. Love this video. I am going to the cave may 14 should be fun. One question what kind of camera did you use in the cave.. Thank you I need to start watching all your videos.

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you. Inside the cave I used the Sony FDR-AX33

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

Great footage as always,hope there is more to come,so after for a while now ,are you going to get a bigger camper or just enjoy the Winnie?

[@TravelingRobert]

Thank you! For now the Winnie is good. We don't see ourselves in anything much bigger than this, like a 5th wheel or a class A in the near future. We are thinking class B, or B+ at the most. We love being compact.

[@bigdogbulldog9912]

+TravelingRobert yes ,bigger is not always better,are you planning any big trips this summer?

[@TravelingRobert]

+Bigdog Bulldog Nothing big or far. I'm out of vacation time

+Nathan Shepard It is a nice cave.

[@angiep7836]

How big are those spiders? I want to visit but that footage in the caves is terrifying.

[@TravelingRobert]

Oh, they were pretty big... but they seemed harmless

[@Abhigya716]

Hi! Is there a way to reach the park via public transport from Lexington?

[@TravelingRobert]

Not sure, but I don't think so

[@impassable]

Its such a refreshing break from all the political stuff everywhere

[@gardensofthegods]

impassable That was two years ago and it's much worse now in my opinion... I have pretty much stopped watching anything political and just let the info get to me through family and friends and then decide if I want to delve into it some more. I feel as if the American people are just simply being hammered with politics Non-Stop

[@Yellow.Dog.]

@@gardensofthegods It sure isn't getting any better. Dropped cable years ago and when we purchased our RV late last summer didn't even bother with putting a TV in it. YT, a few movies on Netflix, I'm done watching.

[@gardensofthegods]

@@Yellow.Dog. you know I'm really starting to think watching too much TV and movies especially fast-cut editing is contributing greatly too many of the neurological problems people have nowadays ... the generation that grew up with all the movies.. lot of people born in the early 1900s and many of them fought in World War II a lot of those people all ended up many of them with dementia and Alzheimer's I don't know if it was like that before we had all these movies and TV .

[@thomas194907]

great vid of kentucky...hey robert what size engine in your car and how is it for pulling your winnie ??? i'm pulling a small 16' trailer with a dakota v-8 and thinking of going a bit bigger...

[@TravelingRobert]

I have a 3.5l V6. It struggles a little bit sometimes on the hills. I will go bigger eventually, when old Kia dies.

[@xXjano25Xx]

it is luxury compared to European cars

[@gators0972]

I've enjoyed which this trip, because this Cubano did it in 08 when I was married, from Boca Raton, Fl to Chicago. However, do to the fact we only had a total of 13 days, and spent 4 in Chicago, 2 in Indianapolis, 1 Mammoth Cave ,1 in Nashville,1 in Chattanooga & 2 in Atlanta, we came back the same way (except took a different route from Chattanooga to Nashville through the Cumberland plateau straight north to I-40 then west to Nashville. The trip really offers a lot of variety in landscape, natural wonders,cities, ect. Looking forward to seeing what you were able to get from Indianapolis, Chicago, then St. Louis( which we didn't see)

[@gators0972]

By the way, on the rest of the trip did you deviate much from the interstates like you did in Florida,Georgia because that really adds time, your family must have had like 3+ weeks?

[@TravelingRobert]

+Gators 09 Unfortunately we only had 2 weeks so it is mostly interstate from here on. We pretty much just drove through Indianapolis, which I regret, but there was only so much time. We decided to dedicate more time to Chicago instead. Then south through St. Louis and Memphis... And then Destin, FL to relax.

[@MrTravis1616]

This is too funny. Sounds like it's from 1970

[@stephens.6281]

+TravelingRobert No problem. :)

[@gsp49]

I can't understand what your saying.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Does your Kia pull the trailer well? Wouldn't think the tow rating would be enough.

[@TravelingRobert]

It is barely adequate. I wouldn't cross the Rockies with it, but in fairly flat terrain with nearly empty tanks, keeping it under 65mph it does amazingly well.

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

+TravelingRobert ok. My Acadia is the same. 5200 capacity pulling 3400 empty 19ft hybrid. It loves 60-65mph to be at 2000-2500rpm.

[@joeantonio2669]

How many miles do you have on your car? Has it been reliable?

[@TravelingRobert]

Old Kia has 115k and counting. I've had it for 12 years, and very reliable for the most part.
