DeWayne checks out East portal.JPG

Jo Davies County, Illinois

Only the very top of the arch is visible at the East portal. The Retaining wall in the south embankment has failed and the hillside has almost totally covered the entrance from view. Even using the high powered spotlight we could not see very far into the tunnel. A brave soul could have ventured into the opening, but we did not have the guts.

My buddy and I ventured into the east portal, sometime in the late 90's if I remember correctly. As I stooped low to enter what is left of the portal, I used my hand on the ceiling to stabilize myself. I pulled my hand away and it was black with soot, still there after all those years! I didn't want to wash my hand....
