“Plugh”
– a hollow voice
Reminds me of the time I visited Penns Cave in PA. It was cool. It’s traversed by boat and part of the tour now is about how much damage running the tours over the century damaged the cave. It’s kinda meta.
My favorite part is when they show you “the chimes” and talk about how tours used to tap them to make a spectacular noise during the tour and how they took millions of years to form but now they’re all broken because we are all dumb monkeys.
I absolutely loved my visit to Mammoth and am planning on returning some day. They have a few different tours and I want to try some of the more challenging ones that take longer.
If you’re on Instagram check out NationalParkDisservice he basically makes and posts this type of content
Same with “Subpar Parks!”
No phones, very little people, and nature? Sign me the fuck up!
Even better is that it has a deep dark abyss to crawl into!
oh shit your mom lives in the cave?
Maybe it’ll teleport us back to the normal days of civilization!
You’re finally awake!
Where life expectancy was dependent on whether or not you had access to leeches and pure luck!
I went there, spent three days on various tours, it was fantastic!
On a serious note you have to do the Domes & Dripstones Tour if you go. Be ready to climb some stairs though.
Total bullshit, didnt see a single mammoth!
When you go, stop at the shitty dinosaur park right by there. Tons of hilariously bad dinosaur statues.
Heck yes! It’s well worth the price and time. Takes a good hour to walk the whole park and really marvel at how bad some of the statues are.
10/10. No notes.
Yeah! Been to this cave and we stopped by the dinosaur place while we were there since it was just too tempting. Fun little diversion and the statues are… They’re something all right lmao
The NPS Instagram account is one of the only reasons I still have an insta. They’re fucking hilarious.
Trying is the first step on the road to failure.
Or lower expectations.
The park management seems already lowering it’s expectations towards their visitors. ;)
Increasing success through lowering expectations
If you’re in the mood to have a laugh at other people’s bad reviews, check out the Your Stupid Opinions podcast. They have covered at least one other national park that someone reviewed as “mid” as well as a ton of other hilariously bad reviews that range anywhere from sex toys to local psychics. I always enjoy passing the time on my way to work with these guys. Small town murder is also really good by them, haven’t checked out the crime in sports one yet though.
I’ll make sure to miss it!
