What I did today.

Alternate Thread Title: The Part of Providence the Tourists Never See

A tunnel, 300' down, 3 miles to the exit shaft and the only light comes from batteries that you carry in. Trust me when I say there is no place on earth that is darker than this.

This is a photo at the end of the line with the camera set to a 15 second exposure time running 800 film.

Here's the crew I went in with (I'm behind the camera):

It was an interesting day. But one of my boots leaked by mile one so I spent the day with cold wet feet. Yuck.

WOW!

How symbolic. Freud would have a field day.

Inspection of the concrete tunnel lining. It was cool for about the first 1000'. For the next 17,000 it was just cold and damp. But I took a few cool pics.

We brought one girl with us just to confuse Freud.

It's actually 27' in diameter. That's alot of shit water.

Luckily it hasn't been used yet so it was still clean. *whew*

I am so glad you said that, Jennywhizzle. You saved me from making a really inappropriate joke about Britney Spears...

Is there any such thing?

Hehe.

I shouldn't enjoy that nickname as much as I do. I must come up with one for you in return.

I'm a slave to my inner nicknamer. I'm just glad you like it.
Don't worry about me. "Weirdo" will do just fine.

Oooh, cool pics! Scary tunnel. I'd not do well that far under ground.

For those who don't want to go that far underground: Sewers of Paris

I have toured the storm drains of Melbourne, Australia, some of the sewers of London and various other underground passages. I started by breaking my school's rules to explore the tunnels under my boarding school. Those tunnels are still there but after several changes of role the school has become a girls' school. The entrances to the tunnels were sealed in the 1960s. I wonder if they sealed ALL the entrances?
