I hiked a lot of that LONG before it was a regular trail. Windy Point was pretty cool. The curved tunnel at the west end...too bad they can't open the bottom and let it drain. I know a guy whose company put the new door and fan system in the east end (Berne end) of the new tunnel. After the moron fell asleep and drove through the door. An old timer remembered when they put the door in that they had ordered two.....and sure enough, behind one of the roundhouse areas (Everett?) under the weeds..there it was. That's the up-down. My buddy's company installed the side-to-side over the front. Supposedly they alternate. There was an air lock on the south side of the east portal...looked like it was off a Tin Can. Fans screaming full tilt....open the dogs and door, close and re-dog, close the vent in the door...open the vent in the mountain side until pressure equalizes...undog and open the door, you walk out, under the fan output, step to the tracks, look down the tunnel and realize if that door remotely opens with fans at full chat, you'll get sucked under the door and probably pitched headlong into Nason Creek.
