| | | This weekend I decided to check out one of MSP's ----edited---- underground creeks. This was originally a surface creek, but was buried in stages between the 1890s and 1930s and now functions as a storm drain. It was much larger and varied than the previous drain I explored and despite outside temperatures near 0, not too cold. Though upon completion, I could feel my partially wet pants actively freeze in the short walk from the entrance to my car. I was only able to explore a small portion of the drain and will definitely return. 1. Frozen water near the entrance 2. Limestone walls with vaulted brick ceiling 3 Vaulted Brick Ceiling 4. Ice along a wall 5. Wall Stains 6. Tunnel Split 7. Wall flowstone detail 8. Ceiling Manhole 9. Broken Brick floor pipe 10. Pillars at the start of the newer concrete section The next section was really steamy making it hard to see and photograph at times. There was a ton of graffiti, but it was overall really well done and made the storm drain more interesting. I had to admire the graffiti artists who worked in these pitch-dark, wet, and steamy conditions on pictures that very few people will ever see. I dub it the "World's Darkest and Steamiest Art Gallery" 11. Skull 12. Graffiti 2 13. Cigarette Cowboy 14. Graffiti 4 15. Woman Portrait 16. Graffiti Detail 17. Martini Glass 18. Monster 19. Half Frozen Ceiling Waterfall 20. Rusty steps 21. Flowstone on limestone wall 22. Inside a small side pipe 23.Wall Water Spout 24.Black and White Wall Stains 25. Tri Color flowstone/wall stains 26. Floor bricks detail in one of the few shallow areas I have a ton more pictures. You can check out the rest here https://www.flickr...72157648770258984/ Let me know what you think

| | | Posted by xRedx Speaking of up stream, Herm, if you go up stream next time, your pants won't get wet and you'll see all the graffiti you could ever want, and then a bunch more.
| Thanks for the info xRedx. Going up stream is definitely the goal next time. I'm usually not a fan of graffiti, but since it was mostly well done,broke up the monotony of bare concrete tunnels, and the unique location, I didn't mind this time. From what I've heard of that particular drain, I'm sure I'll return many times. If anyone wants to join me, let me know.
