Join me at 1:00pm in a rain or shine unique experience as we walk though the First Railway Tunnel in Canada, built between 1854 and 1860.
We will start with a gathering at the Parking Area which is also the Event Location to swap tales, tell stories and do a little Travel Bug trading.
At 1:30 we will head deep under the city and marvel at this feat of amazing engineering, remember, Dynamite was invented in 1867!
We will take our time and stop at each of the historical plaques to immerse ourselves in how this tunnel was created and I will try to inform everyone in some historical points as we go.
Once we get to the Waterfront we can end the event there, disperse to explore the waterfront, find nearby Geocaches or turn around and head back through the tunnel.
Now for some points!
