Back in March my son in law and grandson went for a walk to get out of the house. People here in Las Vegas like to walk down into the tunnels and washes where the water runs when it rains here. This picture above is the entrance into one of the tunnels. The tunnels are where a lot of the homeless population lives but they didn't see anyone down here on their walk.
Once you get past the dark tunnels some of the washes open up like this. They also had Princess the dog with them on their walk.
My grandson seems to be enjoying himself. As long as you don't go on a day when it's supposed to rain, the tunnels are dry and you aren't likely to run into other people unless it's one of the homeless people that live in the covered dark tunnels. But people come down to the tunnels to walk all the time. I remember 10 years ago Ken and out daughter along with a few of her friends went hiking in the tunnels. They brought along flashlights and headlamps because some of the longer, darker tunnels are very dark.
I imagine that they can get quite dangerous after heavy rain, but it is lovely to your grandson enjoying them on a safer day.

ReplyDeleteI knew about your tunnels because Karen Chance actually featured them as a setting in one of her Cassie Palmer series side stories that I read in an anthology (can't remember which one). Neat that your family could explore them.
He had a great time. Thanks funny. The teens love to hike the tunnels too.
DeleteThe tunnels might be interesting to explore...if nobody is home in there.
ReplyDeleteHe had a great time. The teens love to hike the tunnels too.

DeleteUnique place to go hiking!

DeleteWhat an interesting way to explore the city! I love that Ken and your daughter actually hiked these tunnels! I hope they're both doing ok now. It must be a relief to have Ken home again
ReplyDeleteThey had fun when they did it.
DeleteOh, he's cute. And at least they didn't go out in the crowd.

DeleteTunnels can be fun to walk in. Nice photos, I enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that.
DeleteThe tunnels would be fun to walk in, maybe not running into the homeless in the dark parts though.
ReplyDeleteHe had a great time. The teens love to hike the tunnels too. True.
DeleteUsual tunnel here are for trains, so no place to visit
ReplyDeleteI understand that.
DeleteI don't think there are many tunnels like that where I live.
ReplyDeleteHe had a great time. The teens love to hike the tunnels too.
DeleteWe have cave tunnels to walk through here but nothing like that.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
The ones we have are interesting.
DeleteI'd be worried about running into drug users down there, but overall it does look like a neat place to walk.
ReplyDeleteI would be too.
DeleteStay away from the rain then
ReplyDeleteOh yeah.
DeleteThat place looks really creepy even in daylight! I wouldn't be brave enough to venture there!
ReplyDeleteIf you have enough flashlights, it would be fun.
DeleteYour grandson sure is a cutie! And those tunnels...kind of awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteThy had fun.
DeleteI've never seen things like this! Kinda cool.
ReplyDeleteI like the pictures. Looks like they had fun!
