Kentucky, Mammoth Caves

Here are some interesting things I learned about Mammoth Caves.

-They are hundreds of miles long, the longest in the world.

-The cave walls have bicarbonate in them (like Tums), and the caves were formed by reaction with acidic rain water.

-You have to disinfect your shoes when leaving the caves to kill the fungus that causes White Nose Syndrome.
