For Those Looking For a Real Adventure…
In the 1800s a set of tunnels were constructed in Nelson County Vrginia, for a planned railroad through the mountains. The railroad was never constructed and the tunnels are still around, and they are now being renovated and opened to the public for hiking. Here is a good article about it. In the article they mention that in other similar projects they do not light the tunnel with electricity, but they set up a series of mirrors that reflect the light all along the way. This way the tunnel feel is preserved and you dont feel like you are in a shopping mall after its closed. Definately sounds like a great project and something fun to explore down the road. Reminds me of the days when my brothers and I would spelunk in the eaves of our house. Oh for the good ol’ days.

spelunk in your eaves? good night, man! how big was your house!?! (or how tiny were you)
the tunnels do look kind of interesting, though
