I never figured out what interested this Northern Flicker about the sidewalk, but he fed or drank on this spot for several minutes, tolerating a very close approach. Comments | Permalink Adair couple were married in Mammoth Cave in 1901

This clipping from The Kalamazoo [Michigan] Gazette, from 3 October 1901, reads: Bride and Groom and Attendants All Wore Cave Suits.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 2, [1901] - A wedding was solemnized in Mammoth Cave today, when W. C. Yates and Miss Carrie Caldwell, of Adair County, stood at the "Bridal altar," on which nature has devoted centuries, and made their vows.
The procession to the altar was headed by John D. Quinn, of Louisville, carrying a huge cave torch. The cave orchestra played "She Was Bred in Old Kentucky." There were 60 people present, all wearing cave suits and carrying the flickering oil lanterns.
