The things you see on back roads

I'm out at the MoonvilleTunnel out near Lake Hope State Park. Been wanting to visit all year. The engineering that it took is amazing. Built during the Civil War & refitted in 1903. The entire inside and length is lined in brick. Not a drop of water leaks down. The locks are kinda odd .....

The Hope Furnace's are incredible. Another engineering marvel. They were in service for only 20 yrs. Hard to wrap your head around that for all the work involved ....That thing is big. Standing up next to it gives you the feeling of standing next to the Great Pyramids.....
