| Next stop the Gilman Tunnels. I have been to the tunnels several times, and this photos was one of the easier ones for me to identify. It has been a while since Jim or I have been to the tunnels, and the road up there seemed much narrower than it had in the past. We also think that maybe we both had always gone in the "off season" because we don't remember encountering as many (if any) people as we did on this day. I have photos of the creek (I don't think it is a river ) that flows along side the tunnels, and it has a fair amount of water and flow to it, however on this day, they creek was running, but just barely. It made for some nice wading ponds however as the water pooled in ares building up until there was enough water to flow over the edges. My photos show a fairly rapid falls, it was pretty much just dribbling over the edges of the ponding areas. There are two tunnels, and just to be sure we shot both tunnels. The angle of the photo seemed to be a little bit different, one has to take into account change in the road layout (it was a railroad tunnel in the original photo) as well as the difference in equipment used. We snapped our photos and headed on our way. |
