this is the entrance to the 2.5 mile long tunnel on the Iron Horse Trail. We did a 12 mile run last Saturday. Starting a few miles west of here, then thru the tunnel of pitch darkness, out to pass Lake Kachees (sp?) , that we normally only see from the other side as we drive on I-90 heading to eastern Washington. Then we ran an extra mile out and back, then back thru the tunnel and back to the Lake Annette trail head.
A fun group was just starting their day, on the other end of this tunnel. A bike & beer ride from there down to Lake Sammamish. Some of the bikes had little trailers connected, holding big ice chests full of beer. As I was on the return run thru the tunnel, close to the end, we (coach lesley was with me at this point) hear the bikes coming.... we start running faster, faster... It was like in the movies when the dude is trying to outrun the train bearing down on him. Instead of just stepping aside and letting it pass.
No, trains do not use this tunnel anymore. Darcy.
