Tunnels

Note to people trying to end cell phone converstations: "I'm losing you, I'm going into a tunnel....hello?" doesn't work in Humboldt county.

We don't have a tunnel, do we? At least, none that I know of, and certainly none big enough to lose cell reception.

There's this one in Marin. There's apparently one on the 199.

Are those the closest real tunnels?

Well you've got covered bridges, which are kind of like tunnels, and yeah the tunnel on 199 is pretty lengthy.

Between North Bank Road and Essex Lane on 299, there is a one lane metal culvert that passes under the highway. The road leads up to a few houses. Not nearly long enough to lose a signal.

Better late than never.

We got a great tunnel however it is abandoned and for trains great place to explore although it may actually not be legal. Very close to Loleta.

Only place I ever went on a school field trip where the instructor gave you the option to not go because of its illegal nature. I loved Geomorphology!

Didn't have a cell phone at the time but am certain you would lose the signal.

Bring 2 flashlights, rubber boots, and some bramble bustin gear.
