Alright, discussion time. As of now, the famed 'tunnels' haven't been found yet. Do you think they're there? If so, do you any wild hypotheses about their location/status? Let's get some discussion rolling.

Yeah Tittle said "Beacon Hill Waterfront" should say Beacon Hill Trenches lol! But that does make sense, the picture stated 1915. Brandon brought me back to reality I hate it down here lol. I just love all these old pictures, amazing shots of Victorian history.

As others before, me and a crew member descended into The Chasm in the primary hours of the morning. Very striking down there, magnificent granite cascade trimmed with brick, it seems like the masons that built it took pride and detail in building this passage even though presumably the eyes of the public would never lay on this corridor. The route from the falls was a bit of a back breaker.

Posted by HackTheRipper How long was the chasm?
In theory you could crawl with varying heights about one and a half kilometers, out falling in to a bay 277° to the X on Whidbey Island, I don't know if there is another cement plug in the line somewhere, we didn't make it much past the falls essentially crawling. There is also about another kilometer after the plug which one of my crew members explored some of it, he cut out a massive root to show us.
Wish I could say I've gone the whole way, at this point I have not.

We attached our array of air monitors, through in a glow stick and dipped into the legendary Burrow climb down the rungs, then about another seven foot drop, we tied loops in webbing to ensure our ability to retreat. Very intriguing down there, a hellish yet heavenly experience, these were the first granite falls I had yet to encounter personally, standing in the falls gives you a sense of euphoria. Very provoking to fathom some of the hypothetical of this line.

Yes, time for discussion, since there's been so little on this thread
If you read the lines, then read between them, lot's of clues. One example of a real tunnel: The Empress smoke show... Yep, Sum Bin Doun. Well, I heard his bro has...

Great video Luigi, you were certainly able to capture a lot of nice details with that gopro. It can be difficult to get the lighting just right at times I find, although I'm just using my iphone 5S I need to invest in a gopro.
