About this Event
Pogue's Run Tunnel Exploration
Come join us for an exciting adventure through the Pogue's Run Tunnel! Get ready to explore the hidden tunnels and mysteries that lie beneath the city. Discover the secrets of Pogue's Run with fellow explorers and uncover the stories that have been buried for years.
Inside the pitch-black tunnel built more than a century ago, the water can be deep, or, depending on the rainfall, can slow to almost nothing, leaving dry concrete pathways on either side. The entrance is wide and intimidating. The walls are made from concrete, and just inside, the tunnel looks like a bunker built on an alien world, where a trusty blaster would come in handy. Walk some 200 yards deeper in, and the light is gone, ceding to total blackness.
The ceiling is cracked, and side tunnels, made of brick, occasionally branch off the main route. Cell phones don’t get service in the tunnel; the only way to get a sense of your location is to turn down one of those side tunnels, find a grate that cracks up into the city, stick a phone out of it, and take a picture. Then, all of a sudden, the tunnel ends, and the water pours out on the other side of town, into the White River.
We'll probably do the same plan as last year.
- Meet at Natural State Provisions
- Someone will drive us down to the other end of the tunnel
- Walk the tunnel back up (takes about 1 - 1.5 hours)
- Walk to NSP for lunch and a drink, disperse from there
If anyone has ideas and a hook up to a bus or big van, let us know! Depending how many people, we might rent a big van and everyone pitch in a few bucks for the rental.
Working out those details but please RSVP ASAP so we can have a head count.
