Message 1:
Due to an unfortunate computer error and other problems, the Souterrains
network was down since Januari. The site still can be reached, but will not
be updated for a few weeks. Please keep on sending information. It will be
included, but it might take a while. Just to keep you updated, I will give
you some recent information.

Question: by Kevin McCarthy
>From USA, Winter Park, Florida
Perhaps you might add this question to those outstanding or reference me to
another source for info....I was trying to perform research into the
engineering and construction of the George C. Wallace Memorial Tunnel under
Mobile Bay...(Mobile, Alabama)... There don't appear to be any books on the
subject and articles are very limited in scope... any help would be
appreciated....Thanks.

Richard Mclachlan found a book with the title "Underground Bases and
Tunnels". This is the description:
It is an American book, and the sub title is "What is the Government trying
to hide?" so as you can imagine, the style is a bit anarchic and fringe.
There are even a couple of chapters on Alien Abductions and Cattle Mutations!
However, if you ignore that aspect, there is quite a lot of interesting info
there which illustrates the large (in European terms anyway) number of
underground facilities that appear to exist in the USA, apart from the
obvious ones such as Cheyenne Mountain and the one under the hotel in W VA.

New site to visit underground
Atlanta, Georgia sewer system, U.S.A.
Extensive network of underground drainage system
Open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day
Entrance fee: Free, maintained by the city
First open in 1846
Address: Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A
All over the city about 20 to 50 feet underground
This is a fantastic way to extensively explore a major city sewer system. I
would advise bringing your own oxygen supply due to the various
proliferation of methane gas in various areas of the system, I recommend
entering, coming from the Smyrna Georgia area, on highway 3 to Atlanta the
highway 3 plant at highway 3 and the Chattahoochee river.
The water is going in about 30 miles per hour but with a good scuba outfit a
person can jump in and delicately swim between the filtration grates. If you
don't make it well, that has never happened yet. You can float approximately
546 miles underground. If you get hungry you can push up the various grates
and find yourself in a neighborhood
where you can get something to eat. This is a wonderful way to spend a nice
vacation in the city that gave you the 1996 Olympics. Come and see the
fantastic sewer system of Atlanta. Ya'LL will come back, 'Ya hear?
