| Below: At the only Alpine Slide
in Kentucky, the two RV Gypsies took the scenic chair lift ride to the top
of the mountain to ride the Alpine sled on a 1/4 mile trip down the mountain
filled with turns and bends! A unique control lever allowed the two RV Gypsies
to control their own speed down the mountain. |

chair lift up the mountain, the two RV Gypsies took some selfies. |

ready for take-off on the Alpine Slide |
|
|
| NOTE: They do not allow people
to go simultaneously on the Alpine Slide, so they gave Lee Duquette the
go-ahead first, then after he was part way down the slide, they allowed
Karen Duquette to go. So Lee was already at the bottom when Karen Duquette
arrived and he was able to get a photo of her on the slide. |

Below: Cave City,
Kentucky - Big Mike's Rocks, Gift Shop, and Mystery House |
| On this date, they charged $1 to tour the Mystery
House, but coupons may be found for a free
entry.
The Mystery House has several black light posters that the guide will
ask you to define what you think you see in the posters. The highlights
are the classics -- chair on the wall, billiard balls going uphill, water
running uphill, tilted rooms with slanted floors, mirrors that change
how you look and an optical illusion room.

Outside the store,
odd-shaped windows |
Inside the store,
extra large underwear |

Below: In Big Mike's Mystery
House, the two RV Gypsies each sat on a chair that was floating in the
air. These photo can not do justice to the event, as the chairs do not
look like they are in the air in the photos. |
|
|
| Below: Although the two RV Gypsies
were standing STRAIGHT UP on this large chair, it appeared that they were
leaning forward. |
|
|
| Below: When the two RV Gypsies
faced the other way and stood STRAIGHT UP on the same chairs as shown above,
it appeared that they were leaning backwards. |
|
|
| The two RV Gypsies felt that best part of the
Mystery House was the room where the two RV Gypsies stood in opposite corners
of the room and they looked like they were either shorter or taller than
normal due to slanted floors/ceilings, receding walls, and perspective distortion.
|
 "HA
HA" said Karen, "I am taller than you."
|
"In your dreams" replied Lee |

Below: Back in the store
there was a Big Mo display, the world's largest fossilized
mosasaur skull |

| Dinosaur World has a park
in Florida, Kentucky and Texas. The dinosaurs represent a variety of well
known and unusual species, which are displayed outdoors with explanatory
signs; - Brachiosaurus, Chasmosaurus, Dilophosaurus, Spinosaurus, Stygimoloch,
Triceratops, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Since the two RV Gypsies have been to
Dinosaur World in Florida with their grandson, they were not interested
in stopping here at this time. |

The new Yard of the two RV Gypsies at Singing
Hills Campground. No pool, no clubhouse, a small book exchange
in the office and the nicest people own the campground, and the stay was
extremely pleasant, even under terrible circumstances of Lee Duquette
needing surgery and the hospital being 90 miles from the campground.
When the two RV Gypsies first arrived at Singing Hills
Campground, they only planned to stay for 2 days. But then Lee Duquette
fell (NOT in the campground) and got seriously injured and needed surgery.
After their original 2 days here, the campground had to move the two RV
Gypsies to another site. It was a bummer because Karen Duquette had to
drive the RV and she does not really like to drive it. Lee Duquette was
not allowed out of bed except to go to the hospital.
The two RV Gypsies were at this campground for 5 full
weeks and Lee Duquette could not go anyplace. He could not stand nor walk
until after his surgery. |
