    I havent stayed in WW villiage for almost 20 years. It is looking much nicer, though it was pretty tidy then, just old. The room waa cramped with my wife and 6 yo daughter, but fun for one evening. I don't think they were originally built with bathrooms, just sinks. There was a bathhouse in the quad...i don't see it in your video so they must have removed it. Without the toilet and shower, the room must have seemed bigger. Even in the early 2000s, the place was always filled. In the late 90s we couldn't get a cottage, so we went down the hwy to the Horse Cave Motel you showed. The next door room was rented by a family playing bluegrass instruments easily heard through the walls. We applauded once and they got suddenly quiet. Reminded me of the Darling Family on Andy Griffith in their first episode.

    You should definitely stop in Bowling Green and tour Lost River Cave. I'm not sure if they'll be doing the boat tours through it with the rain we've had the past 2 days, but's worth a shot. It's an amazing spot. There was a nightclub in the cave back in the 30s-50s, then it was abandoned and, much like this cave, became a dumping ground. In the late 80s/early 90s, I was a student at WKU, and they had not started the reclamation project yet, but we would sneak down there. Then they reopened it and acquired additional land. There are trails and a butterfly house. Cool fact: Even though the boat tour doesn't go that far, the cave goes under Bowling Green all the way to the WKU campus. Braver students than me have traversed it. Maybe you could visit WKU and find the white squirrels and visit the Corvette plant too?

    Horse Cave is my hometown. At the beginning of the video where he's talking about the American Cave Museum, he's standing in front of a building that was known as Ben Franklin in the 1970's and 1980's. I actually lived in one of the apartments above that store from 1987 - 1988.. To bad you can't travel back in time to the 80's, there was more to look at then.

It's part of the state park system and well worth a visit to Old New-gate Prison.

    As you said, and i agree, most caves and their tours look pretty much the same. So i would not care for more cave tours, unless .... they present something special. The mammoth cave in Kentucky, apparently one of the largest caves in the world has always been on my bucket list. It is even referenced by Jules Verne in one or more of his books. What i'd like also are the cenotes in Mexico and Latin America. Of course, these are out of your working range and are well-documented on television. Just as a side note: We do have some ordinary as well as famous caves in Europe. And i do remember you visiting some sinkholes in Florida, one of which was a car sales business that sank entirely below the Earth, and turned into a Museum. Such special events and associated caves are well appreciated. That was really something special!
