This one really stumped me. Finally I gave up, and when Jonathan told me where it is, I couldn't believe it. In fact, I want to see this for myself. Sometime this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, for the past 3 years "Hans the Hacker" has taken over Pasty Central on April 1st. One year he translated the whole site into German - last year he turned every one of our 2000+ images upside down. This year, we laid a trap for Hans (he usually gets an early start) and we caught him! He had written a program to make every Pasty Cam picture burn away like the old map on the Bonanza TV show. What a joker!

We agreed not to press charges if Hans would put his creativity to work doing something more constructive. We believe you will be pleased with the results. Join us on Sunday, April 1 for "Customer Appreciation Day".

We'll be there with bells on :o)

Bee-Sarasota,Fl. 3/30/01 PLEASE...............WHERE IS IT??????

How about the Great Sand Bay?

i remember a tunnel something like this under
m-26 between tamarack city and mason, by the old mining foundations and the sand pits on torch lake. is this it?

Somebody's Football Field.

It's a tunnel under M26 in front of Great Sand Bay.

I remember running through that tunnel - yes, at the Great Sand Bay, when I was a little kid.

Not the tunnel under M26, but behind the structure across the road from the dredge. That's my guess. The one that goes under M26 in that area is domed, made of brick and full of pipes.

Looks like the tunnel, on a back street in Hubbell. Ran from the gully up into the woods. A spooky place to play when we were kids. Especially when someone whould yell "BEAR" when we were half way through.

Nancy Nelson-
I read your message to me on March 25, and I answered you. My email address is: aneilson@gateway.net. Were you neighbors with my folks???

Please Charlie tell us where it is at! I don't think it is down by Tamarack City or Mason because the sand down there is a reddish color, not the whitish that the picture shows.

<Charlie>: Here's a hint - That whitish stuff is SNOW

It's a concrete box culvert under some keweenaw county road...Which one, you got me, as there are quite a few of them...

the entrance to cheyenne mountain on the one day they forgot to close the doors?

Thanks for a good laugh Charlie, love your HINT to Carolyn. HA HA HA

I went through a passage like this when I was a kid. It was under Mayflower Hill Road going to Traprock. It was a great place to get out of the wind when we were playing, but like someone said there are probably dozens of these on the county roads all over the Keweenaw.

Hello Hans,
Du solltest dein Deutsch noch ein bischen verbessern!! Obwohl meine ist auch nicht das beste. Versuch es noch ein mal?

Hallo Hans,
Du solltest dein Deutsch ein bischen verbessern, obwohl meine ist auch nicht das beste. Trotz dem, ich finde daß das eine gute witz war. Schade daß ich es nicht vorher gesehen hatte.
Machs gut!

Is it the Hungarian Creek in Tamarack City?

Hallo Fred,

Ich bin Sie mochte es froh!

Could that be the new bridge by Bammert's Blacksmith Shop?

My first guess was Tamarack City. After studying the picture I think that the bridge over the Hungarian is wider than the one in the picture.
Also the skyline in the back does not match.

Tobacco River Culvert in Gay?

Looks like Great Sand bay to me

Es ist ein Abzugskanal unter Datenbahn M-26 in der großen Sandbucht.

Sorry norman, we haven't had that much snow all year on Cheyenne Mountain.

It's the tunnel at the Calumet football field!

This one is obvious. This is the underside of the Lift-Bridge, the lane headed toward Dollar Bay. Everyone who knows the Keweenaw knows this!

Actually, Boof, looks more like the snowmobile trail overpass on the Calumet-Lake Linden Hill.
In the distance you can see the other, high side of the Traprock Valley. Gotta admit, it had me stumped there for awhile.

The Gratiot River going under US 41 near Ojibway.
Fished there many times in the early 50's.

HERE'S THE ANSWER:
Wow! Lot's of good guesses posted here, several of them right. I received more emails on this photo than any in recent memory. In fact, this is the tunnel under M-26 at Great Sand Bay. For many years we have lived just a few miles from this spot, and I wasn't aware the passage existed, far below the road's surface. On one side it opens into a swampy woods, and the other end steps out overlooking the shore of Great Sand Bay.

Great Sand Bay! Ahhh, my absolute favorite place to be when I come "home". I never knew of this tunnell, but you can bet I will find it this summer!
