This will be the first time going to the tunnels to nowhere in Azusa canyons, looks to be around 2+-mi each way with some random trails along the way, so if anybody is interested in going let me know by thursday @626 8 two five 5 zero 62 and I'll arrange a meeting spot, also to park up there we'll need adventure passes that are 5 or 7 dollars.

I'm most likely going to flake out or have to leave early.
I had a clear day but always end up having to play it by ear due to whatever may come up. Well... something already came up and I have to be in Pasadena @ 3:00 PM.

So... I may go out there for a couple of hours only Razz

Hey C, where ya interested in anything in particular out there?

So can we have a head count. I will not have internet access once I leave today at 3:30. If it's only Frisco and my group I want to head out there earlier, so let me know or text or give me a call at the number above.

Hello All,
OK Here are some pics of out hike to Tunnel to Nowhere.
the first tunnel, it was a hike to get here, boy if I am out of shape.

Nice view!!!!

Bear poop????

Dylan giving me a lesson in geology

The first tunnel was built in 1961 the second was built 3 years after.

She wanted to go back already, I don't blame her, the hike was brutal!!!

Long tunnel, we counted 400 and something steps, which is around 800 and some feet long.

This LOVE sign was right on the center of the tunnel, and when i took the picture the flash shows a paited HATE sign on top of the love sign, you hardly see this without a flash.

I see the light at the end of the tunnel

Me at the entrance of the second tunnel, not as long as the first one if you noticed.

Spider web, I got the adult female

Little egg sack, under this rock there were 3 spiders sharing the space.

Dylan was looking around and found a little tupperware with all these items insed. We found a Geocaching box, with a note pad keeping track of who has been here and the stuff they took and left behind.
So we did take the oldest object in the box, dated from back in 2005 and we left a bussiness card and a quarter, we recorded our names and the SCABIES group.

Velvet Ant, red color we also found others a white one and another red one.
One of them was HUGE

Leaving the second tunnel

View on our way back to the trucks.

It was a great adventure!!! The best thing it was finding the Geocaching box and reading the notepad.

We saw a snake a racer of some sort, black body with a white stripe running along its body very fast.

Several Buttlerflies were spoted,some Pepsis wasp Tarantula wasp, velvet ants and other bugs.
