Oh yeah Andrew, I forgot about the entrances to the hobbit-tunnels that are located in the steam tunnels. I climbed into those from the one with the small steel ladder and spent an hour or two in them with Red Dragon back in '03.

The main power plant next to Self-Help went down in the late-eighties. A smaller one behind old-maintenance went down about six years ago.

That tunnel went under Southampton Road and ended in one of the now-demolished maintenance garages. It branched off to the now-demolished laundry buildings and over to where Self-Help and S-10 are.

Oh, and how far did this tunnel actually go?

Question... When was the power plant torn down??
wrote:
Actually, there would. the "hobbit tunnels" intersect with the main tunnel and a few of the openings into buildings weren't bricked off. So once you got into one building, you could get into the haunted hallway and into every other building.

The water used to come up to the two giant slanted pipes right past the cart. It started out from not-even-an-inch all the way up to five-plus feet.
If that hole from the first boiler room up into the haunted hallway wasn't there, there'd be no access to the "C" buildings from the inside. It was there in the early 90's when I first went that way.

This one is in the Furey Ellis auditorium (large auditorium).

what building is this staircase in?

How far did the water come up to? The shopping cart?

I'm suprised to find that there is no hole in the other boiler room wall.

Almost like that should be a TV screen. I'm expecting Dr.Killjoy to appear and give some advice to Torque.

The upside-down cross was done for shock value. I'm an Atheist, but I have no anti-Christian sentiments. It's just a throwback to my high school days as a young-budding Metalhead. Nostalgia rules.
