#678 Abandoned Historic Donner Summit Railroad Tunnels -- BLASTED BY HAND in the 1860s!

Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #678 Date of adventure:  10/10/22 Exploring the old railroad tunnels atop Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada mountains, which were blasted and picked by hand by mostly Chinese rail workers in the 1860s. When the railroad was rerouted in 1993, these tunnels were abandoned -- and now anyone can just walk right in and check them out. It blows my mind that something with such historical significance is just sitting there unsupervised -- but it’s TOTALLY FASCINATING to explore!   Support me:   Or help fuel my next trip:   Buy me dinner: Bitcoin link: 3H4kzyPxMEwNGNgntSpCQGDEj6xMADUUYC Merch:   Recommended Gear:   2022 Calendars:
