For this Trip, we decided to save some time and flew into Nashville versus riding there and back, and hopped on some @EagleRider rentals. Overall, it was a great experience and something a little different than our usual travels…good times!

ABOUT CAVE CITY, KENTUCKY
Cave City is a small city in Kentucky. Nearby, Mammoth Cave National Park’s vast cave system contains passages, chambers, rock formations and underground rivers. Above ground, trails wind through forest and around the Green River. At the Hidden River Cave, the American Cave Museum has geological and archaeological exhibits. Dinosaur World features life-size models in an outdoor setting, plus a dino-themed playground.

Cave City’s main industry is tourism, thanks to its proximity to Mammoth Cave National Park. A number of motels and restaurants are located at the Exit 53 interchange of Interstate 65 and Kentucky State Routes 70 and 90, which cater to tourists visiting the area.

ABOUT MAKER’S MARK
Maker’s Mark® began with one family’s quest to create a bourbon they enjoyed drinking and sharing with friends. That’s hardly revolutionary today, but in 1953 it changed an industry.
Bill Samuels, Sr.’s quest to create Maker’s Mark began with his only copy of the family’s trusted, 170-year-old recipe. The one the sixth-generation distiller promptly set on fire, of course.

After accidentally burning a set of drapes in the process, Bill experimented with different flavoring grains, searching for a mash bill all his own. To save years of aging time, Bill baked several loaves of bread with various grain combinations instead of distilling them. His quick thinking not only saved time but also led him to swap out the traditional rye grain that is commonly used in bourbons for soft, red winter wheat. This replaced the hot bite of rye with the delicate sweetness that Maker’s® is known for today.

ABOUT LETICIA CLINE
Leticia Passmore, a.k.a. Leticia Cline is an American journalist and model. She is best known as a former interviewer for TNA Wrestling, Maxim Magazine, the reality show Beauty and the Geek.
