Nada Tunnel

Nada tunnel is a 900-foot-long (270 m) and 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) (13 feet high) logging tunnel built between 1910 and 1912. Rock and dirt were removed by dynamite, steam drills and hand tools. One man was killed during tunnel construction when he attempted to thaw frozen dynamite which exploded when he set it near a fire."Nada Tunnel on Cumberland Ranger District". http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/boone/districts/cumberland/nada_tunnel.shtml.
