Below: Karen Duquette relaxed in the indoor hot tub at the campground. Many campgrounds do not have hot tubs, especially indoor hot tubs, so this was really a treat. Lee duquette could not join Karen in the hot tub or the pool because ever since he was injured last year in Kentucky, both hot and cold water bother the nerves in his hands. Karen had the hot tub all to herself.

The cavern was mined from the early 1930's to the early 1970's. The underground is the largest recycling center in Kentucky by tonnage. It handles more material by tonnage than all other cities combined. The average temperature in the Mega Cavern is 58 degrees year round.

The MEGA ZIPS and Adventure Tour is located totally underground in a 100 acre complex consisting of developed and undeveloped subterranean space. The cavern was a former limestone pit mine that housed the largest civil defense shelter in Kentucky with provisions for 50,000 people to live underground for an extended period of time. The idea for MEGA ZIPS came about when one of the owners took a zipline tour while on vacation in Mexico. MEGA ZIPS is the only underground zipline adventure tour in the world.

It does NOT take any skills or physical strength to ride a zipline. Everyone is safely harnessed in and you just have to gently hold onto the handle, relax, and enjoy the ride. The operators control the brake at the end of the zipline. It is a smooth, easy ride, and a smooth stop. There are suspension bridges between each of the zipline stations, and those can be a bit scary, but the two RV Gypsies really enjoyed zipping in the dark.
