    Mammoth Cave hang

    Just putting this out there I have no idea when, but am open for suggestions. Would anyone in the KY, TN, IN, ILL, OH areas be up for a hang at Mammoth Cave sometime this summer or fall?

    I'd like to tag along. I've lived in Nashville for 20+ years and have never been to Mammoth Cave. Great excuse to hang and explore!
    So many trees, so little time!

    Sure, if I is off whenever you have it. I've been inside the cave a few times, never knew there were trails above till just a few years ago, would love to explore there too.
    When you have a backpack on, no matter where you are, you’re home.
    PAIN is INEVITABLE. MISERY is OPTIONAL.

    With my work and schedule permitting, I would love to go.

    Depending on the scheduling, I'm in.

    I've never ben to MC; what is the topography? Hilly? Mountains? Flat?

    I'm also thinking that I would like to go to Land Between the Lakes. Any suggestions on a good hike?

    LBL has a series of nested loops that you can pick from that go (if I remember correctly) from a 6 mile loop up to a 25 mile loop. It is not flat, but it's not N. GA either. The area I'm thinking of is at the TN end of the park.
