I remember back in the 70's and 80's on at least one of the lakes fed by the Colorado River (maybe lake Powell) there was a company that had these flat pontoon boats that you would drive or back your RV onto.

After the rally we are planning on heading into Kentucky. One of our stops is Mammoth Cave. What is the best tour to go on for someone who hasn't been there before but will be a good interduction to the cave. We would probably be looking at a 4 hr. or less tour. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
