There were a few feet of water at the beginning of the tunnel mouth, however after you got about 20-30 yards in, it dried out some.

Foreboding looking entrance (North end).
Not real inviting looking is it? It really wasn't as bad as it seemed once you started in. You can't see the other end because of a slight bend to the tunnel which blocks out light from either end.

You still can't see any light from the Southern end at this point and it just looks like you're walking into a black hole.
