Rail Explorers is a company that utilizes disused railroad lines, outfitting them with large, electric-motor-assisted pedal cars that can seat two or four. They have six locations throughout the US including in Cooperstown, New York, and Boone, Iowa. When I found out there was a location near our stay in Kentucky, I put it on our to-do list.

After arriving in Kentucky in late August, it took to our final weekend to do an “official” trip to Mammoth Cave National Park.
Just a little side post about something I’ve just noticed about myself…

After a whirlwind start to the long, three day weekend, Ash and I woke up early on Labor Day and headed over to Mammoth Cave National Park for an early morning hike.
August 31-September 1, 2024
I didn’t even know about the Lost River Cave until we passed a billboard advertising its presence on highway 70 on our way to the AirBnB in Kentucky.

After two nights of terrible sleep, I finally got a full night of uninterrupted sleep. I woke up refreshed Friday morning so I decided to take Ash for a hike at Mammoth Cave National Park.

Brandy and I had briefly discussed swinging through Salem, Massachusetts, on our way from Maine to Kentucky. The plan was to leave Maine on Friday, August 24 and spend maybe an afternoon in Salem before moving on.
Well, between being bored and being uncomfortable in our AirBnB in Maine, we decided to leave a day early and spend a whole day in Salem.

We only had two events worth posting about in our brief time in Maine. I will be covering our entire stay on this post, but the bulk of it will be spent talking about our trip to Acadia National Park.
July 7 – August 9
The next long-term stop on our massive Summer Tour saw us spend 33 days in Stockbridge, Vermont.

On the border between Vermont and New York sits 500+ square mile Lake Champlain. At it’s widest point, the lake is up to 14 miles wide, but at it’s narrowest points, say, between Grand Isle, VT and Plattsburgh, NY, it’s only a couple miles.
We took a ferry across the river between those two points.
