Eurekan Underground Pics

Post by Gatsby »

Alright, this is what you get when you use a disposable camera. On top of that some of my pictures are actually missing (photoshop theft?).

If you have any questions that aren't "where exactly is the entrance" ( I won't say because if you are mildly resourceful you'll figure it out easy, that and I don't want trouble with the law) I'll gladly answer.

Unfortunatley I ran out of attachment slots, so I can't show you the manhole I crawled out of to "escape" so to speak.

Due to time restraints my friend and I were not able to explore all of this section of underground. Has anyone explored ALL of the stuff connected to this one tunnel?
If so I'd really like to hear about it.

Enjoy!

At this point we were running out of time and looking for a way out. We happened to see this light, but cussed alot when we saw where it was coming from.

And for the ladies...
<br />This lead to another smaller chamber and a really tight crawl tube that led to the culvert that led to the stormdrain box that had the manhole that we climbed out of. Got all that?

Notice the collapsing ceiling. I was really leery of this, but decided that I would find another way out/in if I could

A two foot long stalactite. How long is it supposed to take to get this long? 1550 years? This tunnel is not quite that old. I may just be wrong though.

Some stalctites (is that brown coloring coming from iron pipes somewhere?)

I refuse to answer that question on the basis that I don't know the answer.

Not together in the biblical sense, exactly. He works down the hall from me. And for him calling me a sumbitch, I believe a good push down the stairs at the end of today will be in order.
