And now, in true MDA style, I give the first tunnel report.

10/8/02
2:00 to 4:30+
Group: Charlie, Ben, Emily

We left school at around 2, and headed to the riverside. A few days ago we found a suitable spot, but lacked flashlights. Today, at around 2:30 we arrived at the tunnel entrance, a rather small drainage pipe into the cliffside. About 15 feet into the tunnel it widened to a man-sized tunnel, complete with barred entrance. We saw this from the outside, but there were three bars of banded steel screwed into the door, preventing it from moving(thus, it being a barred door). Roughly 100+ feet into the tunnel, there was the first side passage, at an 45 degree angle. It was a short tunnel, leading to a rather ominious-looking hole in the roof where water trickled down into the water in the tunnel floor. So, returning to the 'main' tunnel, we went further. 25-50 more feet and we found a metal ladder(attached to the wall) that went nowhere. After passing a small plastic pipe that drained little drips of water into the tunnel, the water level incresed to almost the entire tunnel floor. Not that far after that, we found another drainage pipe spewing large quantities of water, blocking the entire tunnel with it's spray. Should return later with umbrella. At around this point, I left, because I had a bus to catch. So, uh...yeah?
