Understandable why it wasn't made public, not much of a chance in finding people going to / using it, if it's all over the news. Will be interesting to find out, if we do, what it is all about.
Too early to think much of anything. No point in getting ahead of ourselves. I would only say its disquieting given the times, location and direction.
I am sure they had it under surveillance but I imagine the builder's got spooked off the site. We may never know and I guess the police are stumped as well hence why they are going public hoping the public may be able to help.
should have used a sneakier approach like hidden trail cameras lol

Thats kinda what I was thinking as well....and with the lengths they went to quiet the use of the generator etc... you would think they would disperse the dirt a bit better and hide their equipment.........reminds me of when I was younger building some sweet tree forts with zip lines....but aside from that it really doesnt look too threatning to me, but does raise the obvious questions that why bother and why that location its a far cry from doing some digging and building in your own backyard, must be some sort of alterior motives.
I say leave it up instead of filling it in and give the homeless people some blankets at least its somewhere to seek a bit of shelter from these winds and cold.....rather hear about that on the news then them finding them frozen stiff on the streets.

I find the rosary and the poppy found pinned to the wall inside a bit perplexing. That was just wierd.
Most likely the start of a grow op.
Or it was a prepper digging a hole for his 50g drums of gas where the prices were low hahaha
I am guessing its a university prank of some sort.....someone lost a bet........ or a challenge of some sort..... looks like a lot of work was involved either way....
Worked with a well digger for a day. All in one day we dug and tiled a 35' deep well. Three men working in shifts so in all reality this could have been done in a relatively short order.Quote:

There was another write-up about him, and his motivations for the tunnel.

The work he put into it, and the quality of his construction was very impressive.
Turns out, he'd like to operate his own construction company - his employer/mentor believes McDonald will be a great one (quick learner, obsessively hard worker, honest) - and has started a crowd source fund to get himself started.
Elton's Tunnel Vision Fund - he's already passed his goal, but maybe a few here want to help him out and kick a little extra his way.
I sent him $100... if it helps him out, helps him succeed and provide a great life for his future kids, helps him raise them the way he's been raised, helps him employ a few of his neighbours and keep them out of trouble too... well... it just may be the best $100 i ever spent.
