On the way back, we could see the spooky light of Piplnr's headlights before he ever got to stretch of tunnel connected to the entrance. We spent a little while sledding on a hill there before driving over to the nearby abandoned driving range, where a few dozen people were already sledding. In fact, I spent quite a few days there as a child honing my lane-jumping technique. This one was older and rusty and only the back half was left.
Up next, we headed over to a large brick building that seemed to be some sort of furnace.
Our suspicions were confirmed when we attempted to go up to a second story. The Jordan Creek Tunnel was always pretty wet, and this time was no exception.
We spent a little while climbing around on everything and ended up on a nice long section that stuck way out over the river.
Syndicate this blog  RSS 0. Once inside the brewery, we were surprised to run into three guys wandering around looking at stuff.
There was a raised area above that stretch where we could drop in on our sleds, almost like a skateboarder's half-pipe. Once we got everything inside, I quickly went to the surface and ran power down into the tunnel.
And when Shadowbearer showed up toward the end of things, I was able to get some good pictures of him riding as well. But definatly a good time. You won't have to search around for the phillip screwdriver to install the screws for the mounting bracket.
Right around dark, everyone started showing up. It hurt like hell, but after taking my shoe off, I could see that I was fine. And with a level you won't have to wonder if the picture is straight.
Last time I was there a hobo came up to us with a beer in one hand and a snake in the other.
And as we left that building, we found yet another vehicle, this one also rusty. In fact, it was so high that I wasn't going to be able to walk to every part of the cave where the water was deepest.
It was probably thirty or so feet up from the water, and I was tempted to shed my clothes and have Hiccup take some video of me bailing into the river from it.
I decided to take the first ride so that I could take more pictures and video of the other guys this time.
We reached a flat concrete area, and there were two more vehicles there.
They decided to come watch us go down into the water.
We spent a good long while jumping the lanes on the last stretch, using mostly Punctual's sleds since they worked a lot better.
I stayed behind for a few minutes to take some more pictures, then I followed along. Last time, three times as many people had showed up as said they were coming. Our suspicions were confirmed when we attempted to go up to a second story. After that, we headed out and Piplnr loaded up the four-wheeler once again. A boring, drab room gets a real lift with the installation of even a little decorative molding. Whether you're installing new draperies or putting up a new chandelier, if you have the right tools, you'll finish much faster and do a better job. It looked to be some kind of employee area, since there were lockers in the corner.
We found paintballs strewn all over the place, so I took the opportunity to photograph Hiccup squishing a few of them.
Choose something whimsical or unique like the wooden chest in this photo, and it might just become a focal point in your room. It was actually a pretty slick operation, which is rare with the things we end up doing.
The World Wildlife Fund site is a place to share what you're doing. He went ahead and started toward the tunnel on it, while No Name drove us down to a parking lot not far from the entrance.
This one was older and rusty and only the back half was left. We followed one of the conveyor belts on the structure down underground to a flooded little chamber with a sealed tunnel at the rear.
