Tunnel Tour
Here’s something you haven’t done before: walk
under Arrowhead lake. That’s right – UNDER.
There’s a tunnel that starts on one side of the lake,
goes below it, and comes out on the other side a
mile away. I’ll bet you haven’t been in that blue
tower in the middle of the lake, either. Ready for
some adventure? How many of your friends can
say they’ve done this?
Well, get your flashlight and footwear you don't
mind getting wet. Join our member Jeane Hallin on
August 16 for a Tunnel Tour operated by the
Mountain History Museum. Meet at the Church of
the Woods at 12:30 pm. The tour will leave from
there. A map to the church is below.
The cost is $35 to become a member of the History
Museum, plus $35 for the tour itself. (If you aren’t
already a member, it will be $70 total, per person.)
Your Mountain Singles event coordinator is Jeane
Hallin. RSVP with her. Also, make reservations with
the History Museum, and pay over the phone by
credit card, with Ron or Barbara Doutt, at
909-336-4796.
This tour is rated as moderately strenuous; there
are rocks to climb over, water to wade through,
and a good bit of walking. It is also somewhat
scary. Only escorted tour guests are ever allowed
here, with a maximum entourage of 15. You will
pass a blue wooden door that looks like it was
installed over a century ago, (because it was.)
From there, you will see a dark path and electric
elevators that look like they lead to the middle of
the earth. They don't go that far, but some who
have had a flashlight fail thought so!
As of July 24 there are only 8 open reservations,
and I just took one of them. Don’t delay. If you miss
the August 16 tour, there are two others on
September 13 and October 4, though they won’t be
with us.
