    Hi Friends! We are excited to start featuring more travel beyond Florida! Since Florida is home, we will always feature all of the Florida content you love, but also more travels beyond our beautiful state. What areas would you like us to explore next?
    Btw, excuse the shaky footage in this video, we just got a new camera, and still learning it. We definitely need a gimbal for it! 😂

    I went through the extended historical tour recently for the first time in 30 years. I've always been a little afraid of heights, but damn. At Dante's gateway, that's where I found out I'm claustrophobic .Everyone should do this once, but no more caves for me, thanks. The last hour of the tour was a mental endurance test.

    I’m excited to watch this video. Wonderful and thank you

      @@ChrissaTravels I could really see from your footage how incredible it might be in real life. It looks much more then my imagination could muster up.
      Thank you for the encouragement. In the past I’ve done some traveling but alone. It is much nicer traveling with someone you have a great rythym with.
      Mammoth caves I will visit. Looks too amazing not too visit and discover. I could understand why you wanted more time. The variety of cave tours was impressive looking. Wow. The crawling spaces and lamp light tour ? Very interesting
      Have you two visited Carlsbad Caverns ? I’ve heard good things about those large caves.
      Personally I’ve visited the Black Hills , South Dakota and enjoyed the candle lit decent into its caves. I’m trying to recall the names. They have several spanning the mountains and I enjoyed the tours
      As a young person I remember The Moaning Cave in California. Among others. Really fun old mining towns
      In the moaning Cave there is a spiral stairwell. Which was daunting as a child
      At the top a employee dropped a soda can and it took some time before it hit the bottom
      It was called the morning cave because if the wind hit the rocks at the surface at certain angles a sound would be generated that sounded like someone or some thing was moaning. Perhaps lost down in the deep caverns. Is what I recall being told. Very deep and large caverns .
      My memory is being excercised now. I remember visiting lava tubes both in Oregon near Bend , Oregon and near FlaggStaff , Arizona. The tubes were so smooth inside I wonddred if the h were human constructed as if they were left over from a ancient civilization. I recall the interesting surreal feeling
      Thank you again for your generosity and sharing of you both fun amazing travels and adventures.

    Certainly interesting. Nothing like one of our off-shore spelunking tours while cruising around Mexico from Fort Lauderdale. We witnessed stalactites and stalagmites from a few hundred yrs(straw like) to thousands & thousands yrs old. A natural dark pool was was available for a refreshing swim with blind fish. Apparently there was no bottom but didn't see any fish, I guess just too dark. Refreshing for sure on a hot humid day.
    Thanks for the vid & review.

    • @ChrissaTravels

      Whoa…that sounds cool! I would love to do that!!
      There are a ton of different cave systems in Kentucky and Indiana. We will definitely have to check out more the next time we’re up there. My MIL said that there are definitely prettier caves we need to check out. So, if this video does well, we may feature more! Which caves did you go to in Mexico?

    • @miszced

      ​​@@ChrissaTravels that was awhile back & not sure if I took a picture of the locked entrance. I'll need to check my archives. I do recall the Guide asking our group if we would like to try a small basic caving or spelunking adventure as the regular trip was canceled(short notice). It was 100% show of hands for caving. That was the first time I heard the work " spelunking". Our group thoroughly enjoyed it & I think today this wouldn't be allowed.
      Today I watch/subscribe to ActionAdventureTwins for the thrills. LOL

    Just a tip for those of you now thinking of visiting Mammath Caves. High season is during the summer when kids are out of school. Within high season, weekends are the busiest. If you scope out all of the available tours, I think you will figure out on your own that some are better than others, or maybe you'll find one that really interestes you. I'd highly recommend going online and making a reservation for the tour(s) you desire, especially if you are going to be there on a weekend.
    Another tip is that there is very limited hotel lodging on site. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but just fine when you aren't planning on spending much time in them while you are in the park. The convenience of staying on site outweighs, IMHO, the lack of touristy extras like a workout room and pool. You'll get enough of a workout walking through the caves. Once again, advance reservations are highly recommended.
    There are also s fair amount of campsites available, both for tents and RVs.
