There is light at the end of the tunnel. The most limiting feature in the tunnel was a bolt in the timber lining that came within 2 inches of the rotary hood. Presumably this bolt will be trimmed before the rotary returns to Chama this fall.
The happy (and relieved) crew after the successful tunnel passage. Left to right the two Daves (Hibl and Taylor), Stathi Pappas, Rich Muth, Max Casias, Harry Hess, John Bush, and Marvin Casias
