Sept. 18, 2009 trip down through Douglas Creek




Snapped a few pictures of the old MB Line while riding my Honada XR650L motorcycle down through Douglas Creek. It was a beautiful hot afternoon with not a soul around. The following pictures are of the line between Slack Canyon and about 2 miles north of Palisades. Enjoy!



Down grade 2 miles north of Palisades near Airplane Canyon





Down grade about 1/2 mile south of the tunnel




Rock cut on the down grade about .25 miles south of the tunnel





Up grade view looking at the south tunnel portal entracne. You can still see a little bit of timber from the tunnel that is exposed out the the hillside.





Standing on top of the tunnel looking on the down grade at the south tunnel portal entrance. Notice the sink hole at the bottom of the picture.
