Butch--It is still a swamp, at the lead-in to the tunnel. I put a good photo of it on my web page for tunnels. I wore regular boots, not rubber boots. I was able to step on dirt and grass, tree parts, and some rock to get to the opening. I sank a boot just a little in mud now and then, and stepped quickly in water a few times, going to the tunnel. Right at the opening, is a pile of rocks above water. I could stand on that with no problem and make photos. On the way back out, I stepped in the wrong place and sank a boot almost to the top. I wanted to go through the tunnel, but didn't; not with my good hiking boots on. With rubber boots I could go through. My guess is that the water is less than a foot deep through there. What I saw is only several inches. There might be some deeper than a foot, but it is probably level. If I go back, I will probably go around to the north end. I don't know who owns the property. It might be people who live out that little road. My guess is that whoever lives out in the big open area owns a lot of land there, including land where the tunnel is. I might go out there some time and ask about it. I have been to the north portal before, but I went down a brushy slope from a road to the bottom. It would be nice to be able to drive back around there, and get to the old roadbed easily, then walk back to the tunnel. I wanted to walk some of the old road bed anyway, north of the tunnel. I will include here a 500 pixel photo of the swamp at the south end. I have a bigger photo of that place on my web page.
