The longest of the five tunnels was the Lankersheim Tunnel which extended for 1,900 feet. Empty wagons pull off the road to let the loaded ones pass. Freight wagons haul lumber for the building of the Flume line. Many local men were employed in the construction of the dam and also as “flume walkers” to check for leaks.

Five tracks from a fifteen track album highlights how consistently great this album is.In 1885 the only source of water for the watering of small gardens and orchards was wells with windmills. I enjoyed every track a lot but the ones in particular that I felt stood out really well include Insane, Bring You Down, What You Need, Ezra and Sleepless.
