The Last Day of Summer

The day before school started,

we met up with some friends to go for a walk through the tunnel.

There was too much excitement,

we had to run.

Once we arrived,

everyone couldn't wait to go in,

until they saw how dark it was.

Armed with flashlights and a little bit of courage we entered the very long tunnel.

Because of the fog, we couldn't see the light on the other end.

I'm not sure of how long the tunnel actually is,

but it is long and wet.

We all made it to the end,

which everyone was happy about,

we didn't remind them that we had to walk back through to get back to our vehicles.

Here is a picture of my dear friend ready to go into labor any minute,

luckily the baby dediced to wait so we could get one last adventure in before she/he comes.

This little shack held more information about the tunnel

and how the train operations were run more than 100 years ago.

I got a work out from the water pump getting all the kids a drink.

My little princess tried to be just like mama.  

The had more signs to the stone flume that they built

in case of drainage issues for the tunnel.

We met a older gentleman on the way back

who came to see the tunnel

because his grandfather had been one to dig and haul rocks to create the tunnel in the 1800s.

We all had a wonderful adventure and can't wait to go again.
