Greetings from Mammoth Cave National Park

This place is magnificent. The rangers and cave guides brought it alive. This is a bucket list place. It must be preserved for all to experience. The rangers obvious love of the history and grandeur of this place is freely and eagerly shared. They will protect and share it with anyone who wants to see. We only need to let them. That’s all. Just let them.

Sincerely,
Sue

“They are our most valuable natural, historical and cultural resource. They need to be protected and preserved for all to experience. One might wonder if our current political leaders had ever been on a ranger-led outing and heard first hand what is to love about this magnificent resource, and really listened to the reverence in which they hold these places, how could they not be inspired to protect what we have here.”
