 |  | "outfall 4"- Mill creek
< on 8/24/2010 6:53 PM >
|  | | | Hey- Just did some light exploring and was interested if anyone had the details on this drain. I am thinking its probably pretty featureless, but at least there was quite a bit of headroom. Pictures follow.

| | | | I went down Out Fall 44 which also goes down mill creek I wonder if the other four rubbed off, because this looks a lot like Out Fall 44. But if that four did wear off the remaining four doesn't line up like yours.
Out Fall 44 was decent drain so maybe this one is too.

| | | | Hmm. Perhaps the sign was replaced. In either case that drain had an interesting light at the end of the tunnel that hints at an exit- so if your drain ends in that strange grate deal by the bike trails and that outdoor pool, we may have a match.

| | | | Yeah it does that lighted area was all ice when I went down it so I couldn't go up there. At the light it forks off there, the rest of the drain goes to the ravine. Now I want to go lighted path and see where it goes, I forgot about that.

The corrugated part is only the last 10-20 meters. There is another very long branch, so there is a lot more to this drain that what it looks like.

| | | | Huh? I've been to 5100, this is not 5100. The access shaft to 5100 is more or less level if I remember and on the other side of the city.
Edit - 5100 is outfall 9

| | | | 5100 is south side, this one is more central. Also 5100 is way bigger than this.

Possibly even 5.1 metres?
My bad... I note the subtle differences now ;)

Nope, my city printed map shows it as 4270mm going down to 3600, then to 3650.
