Sand Tunnel

Here's the west portal of Tunnel 5, commonly known as sand tunnel. This portal is suffering the same fate as the east end, but not to as bad a degree. Sand and loose rocky soil from above works to close the entrance a little at a time with each rain. Once over the top, the tunnel is clear and open for aways til you get to the sand from the other portal. Oh, and I forgot to mention that it's filled with a couple of feet of water. Clear this end, though, and the water would drain out leaving a fairly clear tunnel. Who's got a backhoe? That's Jerry, Joel and D.J. checking it out.
