World Trip 2002 - Virginia Tech
When
I was planning my trip I had only intended to visit one steam tunnel, with
a preference for meeting up with Triterus at PSU. The Virginia Tech tunnels
however looked like a good contingency if I could not meet Triterus. The more
I looked at them though the more I wanted to see them. It would mean going
a bit out of my way, but they looked like they were worth it. They were indeed
worth it. Tick and Chong showed me these tunnels. A special thanks to the
two guys. They were brilliant. So were the tunnels. Very atmospheric. Lots
of creepy scary shit down there. Not the least of which was a scary live steam
vent. More pics and video due tio come in late December.

The tunnel system was being expanded. This is all the equipment for constructing
