Well, I'm back. That's right, it's Spencer and company reporting from Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park campground, at Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Today, we drove an exhaustingly long 8 hours and 55 minutes, from Pulaski, VA to Cave City, KY, and we managed to achieve a fairly suitable spot in the camp after much wear and tear. We set up reasonably quickly, cooked up some spaghetti, and dried our sleeping bags in "Yogi Bear's Laundry Room." Throwing pretense and facades to the four winds, it was a difficult morning, while the afternoon was bearable. We woke up around 6:30, and left camp by 7:20. Afterwards, we dealt with rainshowers, intense fog, and sleepiness in the back seat (as if that was a problem). Following a wake-up call of donuts, chocolate milk, and coffee, purchased at a West Virginia truck stop, we all woke up and dug in eagerly.
Philip has requested that I share something with you all. Shortly after he received the gift of a brand-new Nikon digital camera, he announced himself the official photographer of the trip. Therefore, once we post a link to Picasa Web Albums on the blog, we can share as many photos with you guys as we like. Signing off after a 425-mile drive, this is Spencer Paige. Adieu.

Hi Guys!!! Glad you got a good start on your trip - at least that first long drive is under your belt. Now you can relax for a couple days, right? Just got off the phone with Mom (Grammy). She was having trouble getting this blog set up on her laptop, but she is logged on now and will be able to track your trip when they are on their camping trip up to Maine. We have had a good weekend here. Weather has been just beautiful, but now we really need some rain. Camille had two swim meets this weekend, so she was pretty busy. In another week she will be in Arizona.....
