    I was in that area for work for 2 years, I replaced the power line just south of those tunnels. I walked through the tunnels alone on a Saturday. Hopefully you got to see the Nicholson bridge. After the bridge was built these tunnels taken out of service and the right of way sold to the state and became US11.

    I'm slowly making my way through your videos; I am a subscriber. I'm enjoying them immensely. I do not know if you have already visited Langtry, Texas; home of Judge Roy Bean. Robert Redford did a movie about the Judge. Great movie. The most ironic thing about it is that I pass by the museum a couple times a week but I cannot ever stop to check it out as I am a truck driver and there is nowhere for me to park. I was hoping that you could visit and video the place. I figured that you are the best candidate because I think you investigate these places well. I am sure these trips have to be planned out and it will take time just to get there, but maybe if you have a 'to do' list, you could add this to it. Thank you for everything.

    It’s truly beautiful but I must admit I get anxiety watching people go in places where rocks may fall without a hard hat (same with construction sites). The history of hard hats are actually an interesting topic on their own, the amount of construction workers who use to die before their invention is astounding. Definitely a worthy investment.
    Also, nice to see you leave the bats undisturbed, I’ve seen other exploring channels be mean to rats and similar, these animals live there so it’s nice when CZcamsrs respect that and leave them be 😊

  • @dougscott8161
    @dougscott8161 Před 3 lety +1

    At 3:50 my guess is that it might have been part of a rail, but that's just a guess. In this weather, I would say the bats are all in deep hibernation. I don't think keeping your voice low will be of any effect on their sleep. I saw a date of 1908 on one of the columns you were examining, so apparently they didn't really improve any safety concerns they had, so they closed them only 8 years after that. This was a very interesting exploration, thanks. God Bless and stay safe. Oh, and by the way, you may want to start wearing hard hats while exploring tunnels, caves or mines, you never know when a rock or an icicle will drop on your head.
