Does anyone know if there is a cast tunnel portal that is close to Tunnel #1 ("Mud Tunnel") Preferably the west end? No point "reinventing the wheel" if a...
Glenn, Wasn't it called "mud tunnel" for a reason? Couldn't resist this as how does one construct a 'cast' tunnel portal for a 'mud tunnel'? Just fun'in with...
Ron--and the rest--"Mud Tunnel" because the rather unconsolidated volcanic debris had the consistency of good mud when mixed with adequate rain. Therefore...
