I went again today, and got scared shitless. Heres an account of my story that I posted in the forum.
--------------------------
Ok, so like I said, tactical and I went back the other day when we had nothing to do. We could only dig up one flashlight, but to me, thats all we needed. We were'nt going in that far anyway, only to the Master Room. Well, we walked in, and got to the master room in no time. It seemed like a short lived trip, so we pressed on through the Tunnel that was the dissapointment. We pressed on through the tunnel, being as brave as we were, and we were about 15 minutes in to the tunnel away from the Master Room, when the flashlight dimmed. I was the only one that noticed, and I said "We should turn back, I think the lights crapping out". Funny I said that just then, because 3 seconds later, the light was dead. And we had no other light. Not good. We were down there, a good 30 minutes in to the tunnel, with no light, no cell reception for emergencys, and poor sense of direction. It was terrorizing. Now, I know people who say that they aren't scared of anything, but this was worse than being caught by the cops down there. We slowly turned in the other direction and walked back, trying to keep our cool. We both slipped numerous times, I even cut myself pretty deep on the RCP. We kept our cool, for about 6 minutes. Thats when we heard voices of what sounded like somebody coming up the tunnel. We stayed quiet for about a minute or two, and the voices kept coming closer. All I could Identify was that they were both male, and both sounded older. Finally, I stood up and yelled "Hello?"
The voices stopped for a second, and I heard "Who the f--- is that?" At the point, we ran back in to the tunnel as fast as we could. I fell once, and cut up my face kind of bad. After we ran for a while, we climbed a manhole and popped it. We came out at the manhole above the bus stop at the Colorado Mills, and we didn't stop there, we ran all the way to Best Buy. We kind of laughed it off, and my guess (and still is) that it was probably a bunch of stoners just walking around down there, with nothing else to do. Although, after that, I'm going to lay off the Big Dissapointment for a while. I have the feeling security at the Colorado Mills saw us pop the manhole, but I'm not sure of it. Anyway, the reason I bring this before all of you is, anybody thinking of a return trip, maybe wait a bit. Try something like T.I.L. and bring a backup flashlight from now on.
thx, -SnArF and Tactical

Yeah, it was scary. Maybe I'll try something else here later, but I'm laying off the dissapointment for a while.
