A long time ago my Mom was telling me stories of tunnels under Ogden City. Years later, and after much investigation, I have found them! No longer is this just a neat idea, but an adventure waiting to be had!I interviewed a retired Ogden City detective, an VERY old friend of my Mom's who has actually been down in the tunnels decades ago, and many others to try to find a lead into these mysterious passageways under 25th Street. After calling the Mayor and digging through committee lists, I found someone who is not only passionate about the tunnels, but has done extensive research on them. He is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person on this subject, and is one of the few that business owners on 25th street will allow to explore whatever entryways he can find! I've spoken with this man, and he has agreed to meet with any and all of us who wish to explore this exciting part of Ogden's history.
I'm sure everyone else is thinking of the same word I am right now: Documentary. If not us, who? If not within the next month, when? Would this not be the perfect project to help Ben build some business, and pull us together as a group again? I know that "sun dance" has been buzzing in some of our minds for a while, wouldn't this be a great entry? Ked and I are going to go explore them with our guide anyway, I just want to see if this is something we can turn into another excellent Nerd Herd adventure... maybe even for a profit. Just something for everyone to consider.
give me about a week and my brain may be functional again and I might be able to say something relatively coherent about said Tunnels and suchnesses
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say, except that it would be /very/ cool. How would you all feel about bringing along my current business partner, Darrin? He'd get an enormous kick out of it. That way we also have access to the dolly and a glidecam (and the Suburban to get it all up there).
ReplyDeleteSounds cool to me! Do we need to send Darrin through some kind of initiation ritual to induct him into the Herd? (Ha ha ha) His equipment sounds very cool, but I don't know how much room will be available down in the tunnels. If you don't think it will be a problem, bring it up!
ReplyDeleteYeah the dolly might be a bit overkill, and there may only be room for a single camera. Oh well. As far as Darrin goes, I've been drilling him on pi...
ReplyDeleteWe've got a pretty stacked schedule the next little while, so let's try and pick out a day to set a side to do this. Unless we get some invoices back soon there may be an issue with gas money too. We'll just have to see how we can plan things out.
Worst case senerio, we have to wait 'til September or October.
ReplyDeleteLet's still shoot for about two or three weeks from now, and if there isn't anyway to make it work we'll plan for mid September. (??)
The 23rd is the last day of finals for me. Then I might be headed south to hike the Narrows with some friends.
ReplyDeleteA dolly--overkill? Only if he/she competes with Lou!
j/k
September it is.
