I grew up in Glen Cove, NY, and spent quite a bit of time exploring the tunnels: 1. Middle School/Daisy School Tunnels - From the Wunsch (sp?) arts center dressing rooms (normally locked) you can enter the school twisties. From there you can get into the main city tunnels 2. Underground river - From the highway there is an underground river entrance, and lots of rats too. I've been quite a few miles into this and have never found an exit. 3. From a (mostly) covered hatch in the Wellwyn (sp?) preserve you can enter the oldest of the tunnels, which consist of a long lost goverment research center and LOTS of neat abondoned rooms. We've dubbed this "The Lost City", and it is REALLY extensive. From things I've found there I'd probably date it to the 1950's. All sorts of abondoned labs, sealed rooms, deep shafts, etc. 4. And finially-- Some strange underground railway. The gauge is too small to be a train, but it's similar. It's in very bad repair. I followed one branch quite far and eventually found myself in some building that I didn't have the guts to explore. From the compass and distance (pedometer) I'd say we had left the city limits. Anyone else explore these?
