I had to post this picture. This house sits along the Rail Trail close to Cairo I believe, it maybe Petroleum... lol.. yeah great names... but I took this photo on the sly but could not get over the paint job.

Traveling west on the North Bend Rail Trail I was thrilled to make it to the Silver Run Tunnel. This tunnel was misidentified at the bottom of this blog. THIS is the real Silver Run Tunnel and is reportedly haunted by a woman who would jump on the cowcatcher and ride to the next town. This is why I had come until I realized... gulp... I forgot my flashlight in the car four or five miles back. Silver Run Tunnel is 1,376 feet and its not even the longest on the trail.

Preparing to enter Silver Run.  

Looking east from inside the Silver Run Tunnel. 

And what lies ahead... 

The faint, faint "light at the end of the tunnel" 

This is what I saw inside the tunnel. Now, imagine NO FLASH. 

End of Silver Run Tunnel. 

Entrance to Silver Run Tunnel traveling East. 

The #13 tunnel which is to the right (east) of where I entered the trail. I went to the west.

The Lonely Child and Hyper-Boy with a pumpkin that we carved for Halloween. Don't ask about the blue hair...he just wanted blue hair. 

I had to include this. My neighbor as Hagar the Horrible for Halloween. (Bwahahahaha)

This is Toby, one of parent's six cats. He is in the barn where my dad keeps his 4-wheeler. This is photo tour of part of my parent's farm. I hope to go back and take more pictures but that's a lot of land to cover.
