Water Tunnel from the 1850's
Working as a lighting designer you get to meet
a good amount of people with a wide
variety of interest.
One such person I met happen to be into urban
exploration, she knew some one who worked for a
reputable company that explored and documents.
He lead us to a De-commissioned water tunnel
built in the 1850's leading into a city that
was growing by the day.
We walked about 2 miles south and saw some of
the markers they placed every 100 feet.
There were also pieces of history slowly decaying under the city
a small view back in time. I wish I could have found a date.
Bricks left over from the build, I think it would be neat to
see my family's name preserved in time.
Getting down wasn't easy, you had to be some what fit
to get down into the tunnels, they didn't make it easy for people to get down there, WATCH YOU STEP!
These gears use to dam up the tunnel when they needed to restrict water flow into the city.
They are now rusted in their position forever.
Over all I would say I have a pretty exciting life!
