Tunnel Amazing!

I had a really nice solo ride out to the tunnel today.  Shot some photos.
This is the absolute best I can ever remember the tunnel looking.  With all the lights working too.
The photos tell the story.  (click to enlarge)

 The single largest source of water in the tunnel was the ground water entering at the first light.  The small white plastic diverter attached to the wall, now channels nearly all this water out a drain hole.   This constant stream of water was the source for the major puddle at the east end of the tunnel.   It’s now just a damp spot on the floor.

The new silt fence will control the mud and silt coming off the south rock wall.  Contoured drainage on the right will feed into the new settling pond.  Frogs have already moved in.

  1. Hi,

    I am a graphic designer and am working on some album artwork for a client of mine and I would like to use a photograph that I found on your site http://webgeek.atlbike.org/blog/2010/08/30/tunnel-amazing/ . I would like your permission to use this photograph before we go to press the albums next month. Can you please contact me as soon as possible if this is ok. The albums will not be for sale but given away as promotional material for the composer’s music.

    Thanks!
    Chris
