Stumphouse Tunnel S.C.

Construction on Stumphouse tunnel began in 1856 when the George Collyer Company of London brought many Irish workers into the area for this project. Many of the workers lived in housing on top of Stumphouse mountain called Tunnel Hill. By 1859, the State of South Carolina had spent over a million dollars on the tunnel and refused to spend any more on the project, therefore the tunnel work was abandoned. The tunnel had been excavated to a length of 4,363 feet of the planned 5,863 total feet.[3] Today, where the tunnel was meant to end on the other side of the mountain, there remains a mound of earth (intended for the railway tracks) submerged during the summer months under Crystal Lake, located just west of Highway 28.Construction on Stumphouse tunnel began in 1856 when the George Collyer Company of London brought many Irish workers into the area for this project.

South carolina

Last week Shirl ventured to South Carolina for a look see. We had a great time visiting a lot of waterfalls in the northwest corner of the state. Good weather and good company is all that is required for a trip,

Dads foot

Today was 6 week checkup day at the foot Doctor. I have been wearing my large boot all along , its my security boot. He had given me a small ankle boot but it is very uncomfotable He said not to wear it just wear my regular shoes. I drive quite often now by changing from boot to shoe, on tis day the wrong sneaker was in the car, what the hell wear it anyway. We went to Lowes and Public Supermarket and I walked. Not as fast as I would like but under my own power and without the boot.
