Marengo Cave

Today we had to get up early and head out on a 5 hour drive to get to Marengo Cave in Indiana.  The girls and I slept most of that time while Doug drove.  The cave itself was pretty cool.  We did both walking tours, it took a little over 2 hours to do both.  We were able to see some beautiful rock formations.  Our tour guide Will will funny as well so  that make the tours that much more enjoyable. I will post pictures below of some of what we saw.

After we left Merango we still had a three hour trek to Mt. Vernon RV Park in Illinois, where we are now.  That drive was a bit more exciting.  About half way there, it got very dark outside with a storm moving in, and then we got tornado warnings on our cell phones.  We pulled into a truck stop and waited about 40 min for the storm to pass.  The wind was really going making the light poles sway, and the lightening flashes were so close it made us jump a few times.

Once the storm passed us, we headed back to the highway which was then covered with debris from the trees.  I am very glad Doug did not try to tough it out, and we stayed safe.

Now we are settled in the campground happily enjoying our evening. We have another jam packed day tomorrow so we plan to go to sleep pretty early.
