Definitely do more cave tours because Mother Natures outstanding beauty isn't only on the outside.
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is well worth the trip.
We visited the cave and museum last month. I collect Junior Ranger badges and they gave me one of theirs. I’m a 73 yr old Junior Ranger. 😅 We had Chris as our guide. He pointed out were he lived when we were in the dome room. 😊 You seemed winded as we were going back up the stairs as we were. Chris, our guide, thoughtfully went at our pace and didn’t rush us.
I stayed there in 1970 or 71 on our family trip. I took my wife in 2010. Loved it. Hope I get back one day. Thanks carpet bagger.
Great Job doing something new. How refreshing it is that you still discover things you have not done over and over and over again. It is deeply appreciated by your long tern viewers to be sure.
Bulldozers have tracks, not tires.
And yes more caves, if I may speak for everyone but it’s the Carpetbaggers experience we are in for so, skydiving, snorkeling, sword fighting, bi-wing flights, railroad museums, eating scorpions, rattle snake soup, do it all!
Great video! Cave City & Horse Cave in Kentucky is a great stop! Wig Wam Village 2 is awesome too. They allow RV parking and pet friendly! Love what Kieth & Megan have done with the place! Now get those red stripes back on! :) PULLED PORK on TATERS???!!! TAKE MY MONEY!
I love what they’ve done with the place!
"A lot of yummy glop"... a perfect description. 🙂
Kentucky has a lot of cool caves.
That super loaded potatoe looked like I would almost die for, but would definitely got a to-go box !!!
Caves are cool. Keep doing as you have been. When the mood strikes and your near a cave go for it. Wigwam extra cool👍👍👍
OMG- “Cave Jesus”
Jacob, your sense of humor is right up my alley. 🤣
Holy cow! That potato! IT WAS MASSIVE!
I know this isn’t a cave but the Shenandoah caverns and the luray caverns in Virginia are a must if your exporting caves/caverns
I second this 👏
Damn! Shenandoah Valley, represent!
Natural Bridge also. Or do Mammoth caves in Kentucky. If you're heading to silver dollar city in Branson, they actually have a cave tour in the park
You would get a big kick out of The Lost Sea! It's a cave tour on a glass bottom boat. And it's well lit, so it would look nice on camera.
Pro cave tours here... but just like you did this one and show what makes it unique!!! Love all your content!!
We just spent last week in the area. We went to Hidden River Cave and the museum. Loved it, especially since our dog got to come too! We ate Bucky Bee’s too and thought it was delicious! So many great things to see and do in that area. We drove by the Wigwam Village. Loved watching your video and getting to see inside. We usually camp, but that would be a neat place to stay.
A thought I had was... There are a lot of people who do TH-cam videos traveling Route 66. One of the excellent North South trips is on Highway 89 where you go through Yellowstone Park & The Grand Canyon. There is also a motel that lets you sleep in a Caboose on that journey.
The total ambience of the WigWam Motel site is very family friendly, n the fire pit with sticks for marshmallows n hot dogs n all the really retro playground equipment is so comforting n reminiscent of a time suspended for enjoyment of a different kind, especially for families,!!! Awesome!!!
Hi, yes the cave tours are really cool! The more the better!
This is my favorite place in the world. I stayed at the wigwam village a little over 15 years ago and it was awesome!!
Glad to see turtleman is still around
I HIGHLY recommend visiting The Lost Sea in Sweetwater, Tennessee. It is a unique cave in that it boasts having the largest underground lake in America. Part of the tour is going out on the lake in glass bottomed boats!
I've always wanted to go there!
I havent stayed in WW villiage for almost 20 years. It is looking much nicer, though it was pretty tidy then, just old.
The room waa cramped with my wife and 6 yo daughter, but fun for one evening. I don't think they were originally built with bathrooms, just sinks. There was a bathhouse in the quad...i don't see it in your video so they must have removed it. Without the toilet and shower, the room must have seemed bigger.
Even in the early 2000s, the place was always filled. In the late 90s we couldn't get a cottage, so we went down the hwy to the Horse Cave Motel you showed.
The next door room was rented by a family playing bluegrass instruments easily heard through the walls. We applauded once and they got suddenly quiet. Reminded me of the Darling Family on Andy Griffith in their first episode.
Horse Cave is my hometown. At the beginning of the video where he's talking about the American Cave Museum, he's standing in front of a building that was known as Ben Franklin in the 1970's and 1980's. I actually lived in one of the apartments above that store from 1987 - 1988.. To bad you can't travel back in time to the 80's, there was more to look at then.
I would love to see you do more caves! I find them fascinating and love your commentary.
I enjoy all the cave videos! Cave tours are usually pretty expensive and I get claustrophobic so it’s nice to see them on video. I would recommend Mercer Caverns in Mercer, CA or any other California Caves.
Yes!!! More caves, please, Jacob. Thank you!
Yes more cave tour’s please. Love your videos, it helps me with planning our trips.
Yup all these road side stops are great caves wigwams do all the things there is always something special and all in you personal carpetbagger style.
I love the ' eum rule 🙌🌟 that was so neat 😺 The wigwam motel is fun too ❣️ The best part of this video is Your excitement though 🤩 Thank You Jacob 🙏💝😻
Ooo, yes, do a couple of caves! Wigwam Village looks great, and they look bigger inside, I like how you told about it smelling nice, and showed everything inside. I am glad they have owners who are taking care of them, gosh, built in 1937! I would like to stay here. That cave museum was cool! And that restaurant’s food looked yummy.
More cave tours would be great and thank you for showing us the Village it is awesome.
I absolutely loved the footage of the Wigwam village....took me back to a simpler time, childhood memories, the old fashioned places to stay on vacation as a child. Thank you so much for this. Also loved seeing the cave. Thanks for all you do, love your channel.
It was really funny to see your “nerve shattering terror “ as a backdrop while you were eating your potato!
More cave tours. Wyandotte. Marengo. Indiana caverns. Boone cave all near Louisville KY but north in Indiana! Yesssss
You should definitely stop in Bowling Green and tour Lost River Cave. I'm not sure if they'll be doing the boat tours through it with the rain we've had the past 2 days, but's worth a shot. It's an amazing spot. There was a nightclub in the cave back in the 30s-50s, then it was abandoned and, much like this cave, became a dumping ground. In the late 80s/early 90s, I was a student at WKU, and they had not started the reclamation project yet, but we would sneak down there. Then they reopened it and acquired additional land. There are trails and a butterfly house. Cool fact: Even though the boat tour doesn't go that far, the cave goes under Bowling Green all the way to the WKU campus. Braver students than me have traversed it. Maybe you could visit WKU and find the white squirrels and visit the Corvette plant too?
I really enjoy cave tours. For sure. Maramac caverns in Staton Mo is great been 10 years sence i have been there. Jordan and Scott just was there. I want to go back. About 3 hr from were i live.
Museums and dark rides 😊 thanks Jacob
I love caves. Please do more. Thank you and God bless
You’re in my neck of the woods! Welcome!!
Love cave tours. No clue what caves but any that are safe to go see!
Diamond Caverns. Some of the prettiest cave formations found in Kentucky.
I totally love 💕 that Wigwam Motel room!!! It is the epitome of the style n decor down to the pull chain lights n original furniture n tile of the roadside motels in the 1930's, n is such a cool theme as well!!! Awesome!!!
Yes more caves.
Love that area ! Stumbled across the wigwams years back , talk about nostalgia
Love the caves man keep doing you. Anything you show us we love. Love you carpetbagger you are the man😊
Carlsbad caverns , lava tubes in bend Oregon , those are the only ones I can think of right off the top of my head .
I loved seeing this! I grew up in KY and my mom's friend used ro joke that she went to Wigwam Village on her honeymoon 😄
I love cave tours please do more.
More cave tours please!!
Wow, all that original furniture and decor in the Wigwam Village...it's great!
I'd so love to visit this place someday!
Wigwams were an Eastern tribal structure that was more permanent. Coated in clay, like an Adobe. The plains tribes were nomadic, so they used the teepees for easy take-down and carry to their next location.
Caves are amazing!!! Keep showing us more!
Watching jacob video just therapeutic for me.
Yes . Every Museum have something new and exciting to see . That's what I always say to my family ..and it's true 😅 Caves are always cool to discover ^^
Carlsbad Caverns, best cave experience of my life! Yes I would be interested and I think they are all different in their own way!
Putting this on my list for a possible road trip later this summer.
Hi, Jacob, I really enjoy watching your TH-cam Channel videos. I encourage you to film and document cave tours. I reside here in Weirton WV. On the eastern side of WV, is the Monongahela National Forest. In Smokehole, WV, is where Smokehole Caverns are located. They have guided tours of the cave. In the Smokehole WV area, there's log cabins and the log motel. Reservations are strongly recommended to stay at the cabins and the hotel. The state of WV is outdoors mecca. I'm a lifelong resident of Weirton WV.
Cave tours would be epic!
Massive potato meal 😊
Yes cave tours !
More cave tours seems cool to me! Makes me want to visit some caves this summer up here in the northeast.
Yes please do more cave tours. Mammoth cave in Kentucky is a good one.
You might be able to use a gopro for caves. Also some caves are not touristy with a specific mostly assessable route and require specific gear. I've done Luray Caverns twice, but they also have quite a few museums there too so that's a place you could dedicate a whole day to
I grew up spending my summers in cave city it and the owners of the wigwam village were family friends and I loved going to visit every time I was there
Yes, PLEASE do more caves Jacob!!!! I love them❤
Hi Jacob! I would say yes please to your videos visiting caves. I went recently to Penn’s Cave in PA, it was a wonderful experience with a water based tour plus a wildlife safari, great people there too. No camels there, so you can be safe 😁. Love your and Jenn’s videos.
You never cease to amaze me Carpetbagger. We have been to the "outskirts" of Cave City numerous times, and of course Mammoth Cave National Park, while heading to Florida. I never knew about the Cave Museum or that the downtown was so nice. Glad to see the Wigwam Village has been renovated. Always wanted to stay there. Love the caves, but love the towns, museums, and amusement parks more.
Not gonna lie, when I read cave museum, I thought of a museum within a cave. I'm glad there is at least a cave on the property.
Please visit Lost Sea cave in Sweetwater Tennessee. Thanks so very much Jacob for all your hard work putting out these videos. As someone who is now homebound, your travels truly do mean a lot. Take care.
Wigwam, Teepee, Wigwam, Teepee, Wigwam, Teepee. That's a problem Jacob. You're too tense!
I am an incorrigible punster.
Do not incorrige me.
As you said, and i agree, most caves and their tours look pretty much the same. So i would not care for more cave tours, unless .... they present something special.
The mammoth cave in Kentucky, apparently one of the largest caves in the world has always been on my bucket list. It is even referenced by Jules Verne in one or more of his books.
What i'd like also are the cenotes in Mexico and Latin America. Of course, these are out of your working range and are well-documented on television.
Just as a side note: We do have some ordinary as well as famous caves in Europe.
And i do remember you visiting some sinkholes in Florida, one of which was a car sales business that sank entirely below the Earth, and turned into a Museum. Such special events and associated caves are well appreciated. That was really something special!
Good Morning Jacob 🙋🏽.
There are some caverns that do haunted tours during October. Right up your alley!
Wow!!!!!! How funnnnnnnnnn best video cave tour ....yes please
Yes for caves! 🙌🙌
I'd love to see you tour Carter Caves in Olive Hill, Ky! That place is the most underrated gem in Kentucky
I love the Wigwams. I stayed there many years ago.
What a cool cave, and how wonderful that the river in it was cleared up!
What a wonderful bonus to emerge from the cave into the summer rain!
...and then, Wigwam Village?! What a day!
Hi Carpetbagger 👋 cool your still in Kentucky, wigwam hotel looks really nice, vintage feel. I'm here in Louisville, just watching your video I'm on Barrett avenue in the highlands , I own my house since 1999 it's better then rent. I never rented just own lol. You have fun were you are at take care and stay safe.🙏🤓📸
I love seeing caves.
Thank you for this video! My grandma was from Horse Cave KY. I would love to go there!
What a neat hotel! Definitely going to check it out. Thanks for finding this gem!
Spelunking with The Carpet Bagger or with Jake has a nice ring to it.....I say go for it brother
Wigwam Village is awesome!
Would love to see a updated look at the mammoth cave wildlife museum,I've watched your video of it 100 times,love that place
Carlsbad Caverns up the road from me in New Mexico is absolutely outstanding.
Yes more caves please, Mammoth cave would be great
Another great adventure!
Every cave is different. Sweetwater, TN has a good cave.
Very cool cave! Sure more caves!The Polar caves in New Hampshire. Cool to sleep in a wigwam.
Love the cave tours. More please. Jordan the Lion went to Meramec Cave near St. Louis around Route 66. That cave impressed me.. Caves can be quite diverse..
Yes, i would like to see your version of cave life (so caves a go-go for me)AND that Wig Wam is AdOrAbLE!!
I'm always up for cave videos. What beautiful morning to wake up to. 😊
Love the caves. Went to Luray Caverns when I was a kid.
Just keep going where the road takes you.
Cave tours are great. 👍 Carlsbad Caverns is the only one I really know of.
I'd love to see you do a cave tour of Mammoth Cave!
While you're in KY, visit Daniel Boones fort. I was there not long after they found the location and we're going to restore it. I've wanted to go back for years but it hasn't been possible
