Jubilee's field reporters may have changed their mode of transportation, but this has not hindered their investigative reporting skills. Whether by land or sea, they will go to any height - or depth - to bring you their stories. Here's what the crew had to say about Mammoth Cave.

Intro. to Caving, by Drew
We visited Mammoth Cave National Park. It was awsome. There are many different tours you can go on with a ranger. We went on a tour called Intro to Caving. It is three hours long and you go off the trail and climb and slide and crawl in the mud.
Our ranger's name was Miss. Dr. Janet Smith and she was in her 70s and she kicked my butt at caving! It was so FUN. We had a blast. If you ever go to Mammoth Cave, you should do it. You have to be 10 or older, so me and my dad only did it.
Mammoth Cave, by Jake
Hi, it's Jake. I went to Mamoth Cave, and did you know it's the longest cave system in the world. So far the rangers have discovered 367 miles of cave and are still discovering more. They map a few more miles every year.
Back in the olden days people took 15 hour tours and walked about 10 miles. Now our tour covered about 4 miles of the cave in 4 hours. If you really want to see the cave, you can go on the Trog, Intro to Caving, Grand avenue or Wild cave tour. If you do, have fun and enjoy your stay! Also, watch your step! The End.
