Finding Forgotten MORENO TUNNEL - Buried & Hidden

[@generalporkchop1817]

I walked thru that tunnel many times back in the 60's and 70's. The tunnel , at the time did not go across the road but actually went thru that hill and out the other side about 1/8 th of a mile (or less) and ran parallel with the paved road in a straight line from where the entrance was and the tunnel was level . The top tunnel probably fed another bottom tunnel that went across the road to where you guys ran into your bee hives.

[@adamthewoo]

+General Porkchop excellent ! Thanks so much for the comment

[@ta1entscout]

I remember going thru this tunnel with a friend in the early 70's. Then in the 80's the upper entrance was blocked off. Fun memories.

[@adamthewoo]

Had a lot of fun on this adventure. Thanks for tagging along everyone

[@Sephyrpunk]

Awesome!

[@AgitatedGhost]

I love watching you it's really cool and funny

[@jackmanfamsquad]

Get a GoPro and a RC car for this tight spots.

[@abbeyglencircle]

+adamthewoo for this kind of tunnel exploration, get yourself a RC car and mold a camera on it, that way you dont have to get dirty.....

[@OneTakeJay]

+adamthewoo you guys have a great team chemistry it is a pleasure o watch your channels..cnat wait to meet you in person ....Thanks for he enjoyment

[@DoveBlake]

been watching your videos for years now and you never stop making me happy. You deserve a larger platform, never stop exploring please.

[@spiraloutkeepgoing]

Adam, if you had your own tv channel, I'd watch it instead of anything else. You give more history about a place you're filming in 10-15 or less than the History Channel does in a week.

[@matthewwurster1133]

you also gave me more info then the history channel gives in a week

[@wolfenvonschitz7798]

You can go in it. It's safe. If you're a bit claustrophobic, it's not a good idea (obviously). Get in through the sliver at 2:34. You'll be able to walk upright after a few feet in. Walk the length of the tunnel and pull yourself out at the other end. You'll find that you traveled much further than you thought, under a few small mountains and the highway. Keep moving forward after you get out and find the dirt road. Walk the dirt road left to get back to the highway. Park somewhere and hike to the tunnel's entrance as you will not be able to park near its opening. This is a good thing. You don't want to draw attention to yourself now, do you?

[@ExploreWithUs]

Excellent video Adam, was hoping you found a way in, but still an excellent video. Enjoyed the history too. :)

[@adamthewoo]

+Explore With Us thanks !

[@Anonymoose]

Fascinating! As an old spelunker, I'd really be wanting to do a little digging and get down into the tunnel itself.

[@adamthewoo]

+Anonymoose yeah super tempting

[@Meekerextreme]

+Anonymoose Looked like 1 tag was in the tunnel, so someone has crawled in there.

[@pencilheadphones7482]

+adamthewoo Legally, how would you do that?

[@lucianfranetovic6267]

Awesome videos dude. I enjoy watching these from all the way on the other side of the earth in New Zealand, you guys have some really cool forgotten relics in USA, keep up the good work look foward to more of your zaney journeys. PEACE✌

[@Hollyweeds]

Haha the bees and the My Girl references were hilarious. I kept thinking of 'Chinatown' with all the water supply, reservoir, California talk. Cool old brickwork. Thanks!

[@adamthewoo]

+Hollyweeds gotta love My Girl

[@lesterhartness4077]

Interesting. For a few years, I lived in one of the mobile homes just southeast of the intersection of Redlands Blvd. and San Timoteo Canyon Road. This area was my playground, and I explored a lot of it. I've been to the basin, but hadn't seen the upper end of that tunnel. There IS another tunnel that I found, though. Not as elaborate, not lined, no concrete or brick structure, and I went a few hundred feet into it on my hands and knees, couldn't see any light at the other end. It's not easy to find, either. I found it while chasing my three wheeler ATV down the side of a hill after falling off. Now that there's such a thing as the internet, I did manage to pinpoint the coordinates on Google Earth.

[@Codenbaugh]

I grew up in moreno valley and I never knew about this.

[@socalfaithfuls4020]

Same here but glad I know more history about my city now 👍🏽

[@cowboygeologist7772]

How fun. This is only the 2nd video of yours I have seen. I started laughing HOW many times you said "actually" and "basically". LoL

[@BoomDYadda]

I respect what you do, Adam. Keep up these amazing exploration blogs that have entertained us for a long while!

[@captfenway9979]

Someone tv network should hire you to explore stuff like this throughout the country. Another excellent video. Love to watch all of your stuff. Thanks Adam.

[@kalenascott103]

my favorite videos are when u and Justin are together you guys always seem to have so much fun!!!

[@JonHeckendorf]

I lived not but a few or less miles from there. I drove a lot on those roads (both ends of the tunnel) not realizing nor knowing this tunnel existed. I no longer live near there but I thank you for finding and showing this piece of history. If I had known, I would have dug down and explored the tunnel. A missed experience and possibly adventure.

[@terrimama]

Hey Adam you were in my neck of the woods thanks for the video

[@definition.of.insanity]

Wow. I just had a random memory of this guy. I used to binge his videos for hours like 4 years ago. Coming back feels just as great as when i first watched him.

[@80shorrorronniepierce67]

if you ever get into really soft earth or sand let some air out of your tires and you'll be able to drive a lot better and not get stuck .

[@split_pin]

I love old waterways and waterworks, nice work there guys 😀

[@deannaharby5677]

This is just too cool ! Glad you are not out there alone ----thank you taking us along---love Justin too....

[@RangerJ]

This adventure felt more like a vlog. Especially with Justin around. Very enjoyable!

[@_OriBun]

Okay, no one is saying something, so I gotta. Sugar sand is sand so fine it acts like sugar does, not compacting any unless wet. So basically it's harder to drive on because it's harder to control. I don't know if it's a regional thing, but I'm in central Florida and its a common term. I traveled 30 minutes each way multiple times a day through roads of it for a decent bit of my life, it's hell but it sure is fun when you get used to it. Basically, find the ruts and ride em. Awesome video Adam, love seeing stuff from you! Stay safe out there.

[@51suburban]

That's cool . I learned about this tunnel in high school in 08 . My teacher showed us vhs tape about it . he got it from the public library . I wonder if the library still has the vhs . I always wanted to check this out thanks for the video

[@artcarsnguitarsAdamS]

Man, that is awesome. I would love to find old construction like that.

[@marisahopper4616]

I like when you use the word "shimmy." Always makes me smile. :) And that sunset was gorgeous!

[@adamthewoo]

+Marisa Hopper haha thanks Marisa

[@motherearth5462]

I would soooo love to go into that Tunnel and explore. Yes, I know to watch for snakes and critters of all kinds. Got chased out of a Old Mine by a Javalina just outside Bagdad Az. I LOVE EXPLORING.

[@kim_2014]

go back and dig so you can get in

[@aryan1313ful]

You guys are a lot of fun- thank you for posting.. I believe when you are driving over "sugar sand" you just haul ass over them- and keep the speed- that's what we do in the desert

[@GuitarGuyAl]

I've driven by the tunnel entrance for a long time and always wondered what it was. Pretty cool. I did lol at the "I don't want to be stuck in the middle of the desert" comment. Trust me, while Mo Val isn't anyone's idea of paradise there are plenty of worse places to be stuck.

[@RustyX2010]

+Allen Butler like Perris or Nuevo

[@GuitarGuyAl]

+RustyX2010 I was thinking more San Bernardino or Colton but Perris/Nuevo work too.

[@RustyX2010]

lol

[@killuhkoaluh3838]

Adam. Just wanna let you know that whenever I have to go grab something, or am asked to do a task at work, or just take a small detour of any kind I AGGRESSIVELY break into: "ADAM THE WOO GOES ON ADVENTURES FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It frightens myself along with others, but damn, so catchy. Love ya~

[@Goleon]

+Killuh Koaluh I've been so tempted to do that but I feel like if I do everyone would give me a wtf look.

[@adamthewoo]

+Killuh Koaluh ha thanks for thinking of me

[@shaky6669]

Great video Adam! I loved the part when you referred to the soft sand in the road as sugar sand and Justin had a kinda confused look and asked what is sugar sand. Me and my wife laughed at that part, me being from Central Florida and her being from South California we have a similar dynamic when it comes to the different terminology from what we refer to stuff due to where we are from. My wife living here for over 10 years now laughed and said that sugar sand was a Florida thing. Once again, great video.

[@DannyBoy-nz2mi]

Bravo to you and Justin. This was a very cool historical look into something that was an integral part of the development of the area. The photo of the laborers that built the tunnel was indicitive of the importance and pride they had upon completion of the tunnel. I don't know how I can explain how "gripping" this vlog was but it is something that a teacher could show a class regarding the historic importance of urban development. I do believe that you and Justin have great chemistry...many funny catch phrases throughout, love it!

[@McCracken257]

"two Rs, I am not that scared. Ha oh Justin cracks me up! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Hope to see more Adam and Justin adventure vlogs

[@adamthewoo]

+Samantha C it was a good time

[@logankerr8090]

AWESOME vid once again ADAM!!!!

[@andrewr.344]

Love these historic exploring videos Adam. Thanks for going on these adventures for me, and my mom is cool with it too! Haha

[@adamthewoo]

+Andrew R. thanks for watching Andrew

[@pighunterandpinky9228]

Only started watching you today but you are one of my favorite KZbin!!!😀

[@Robothut]

Send a cheep RC car truck type toy with the camera duct taped to it in the tunnel. Be sure to tie a fishing line to the RC toy first so if it dies or gets stuck you can pull your camera back out. Coyote's love tunnels by the way.

[@adamthewoo]

+Robothut think the signal would hold up tho ?

[@sundaysuppersingers2545]

Robothut Great idea with the RC

[@MadeByIsaura]

Awesome!! You guys are my favourite youtubers!

[@aidyldelrosario6012]

Another great video! They're so fun. Thanks Adam ^^

[@adamthewoo]

+Aidyl Delrosa thanks, try to have fun in everything I do

[@noradennis4361]

Pretty cool Adam. I love finding old remnants of the past like the tunnel. Awesome video!!

[@davidjames666]

Some of that poop is mine. I sometimes hang out there, and play with the bees. No one is around, so i do #1, and #2. Heck, a few times i did a #3.

[@sundaysuppersingers2545]

David James LOL. You can’t let that #3 build up!

[@maverick_trail]

Cool to see Adam in my former back yard (used to live in NW Moreno Valley). There are actually legitimate caves not far from the location in this video. I believe it's called Kalmia Hills in Google Maps, but you go North on Moreno Beach Drive off the 60 frwy until it ends, turn left (turns into Reche Canyon Rd) and about a 1/2 mile or so there are 2 or 3 caves in the side of the hills. I've been in them about 25-30 years ago, but they are about 4' high and they went pretty deep into the side of the hill - 40'+ maybe. Found these pics: www.panoramio.com/photo/3552477 and www.panoramio.com/photo/3552438

[@lesterhartness4077]

Well, those links are dead now that Panaramio is gone. Those bastards!

[@srosty05]

Yep, there was a collapse in a concrete mime that trapped 4 people and only one survived because they ended up eating each other

[@lalae5578]

Hah! I like Justin's Winnie the Pooh reference. "Tut Tut it looks like rain!"

[@lisad476]

awesome once again Adam...thanks for the adventure

[@raebey2064]

I love these urban exporer type videos 😃

[@IKS-Exploration]

fantastic explore was brilliant :)

[@matthewguerra7186]

Thanks Adam and Justin. This was a really interesting video.

[@xMontorix]

Two things I was waiting on in this video: Jumpscare Coyotes I always expect a jumpscare on your videos though.

[@CheshireBelle]

LMAO your friend is too cute!!!!!!! That would so be me with the bees lol except I would be screaming!!!! :p

[@EphemeralProductions]

I agree. :)

[@nktigger99]

Great seeing Justin out with you on an adventure. I bet just getting across the road was probably an adventure

[@adamthewoo]

+Nichole Bird it was, didnt expect that road to be that busy

[@christiangronau8276]

I love it when you show old history of what made the Los Angeles area. Great video thank you

[@adamthewoo]

+Christian Gronau thanks again for watching Christian

[@goalie2998]

thats awesome. cool stuff Adam

[@MrDirkles]

This video was so exciting. A real adventure.

[@Daniel28021991]

Awesome video Adam!

[@protendi]

ANOTHER GREAT MEME ADAM! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@Keliimaoli]

That would be a cool Tunnel to check out!, great video Adam!.

[@tylerharrop6617]

your videos are awesome man keep making them

[@Brian_Buckley]

most of those droppings and the owners of the footprints are Wild Donkeys. they are everywhere out in that area. also the scortched brick is due to many fires over the years. That whole area is prone to fires. several in the past 10 years. I live like 20min away from here and have driven by this countless times and had no idea what it was. thankd for this.

[@adamthewoo]

+Brian Buckley (ZombieRot - Ingress) dude e need to go film the donkeys, seriously

[@Ssupermom12000]

this was so cool.

[@chelseyd2021]

Did anyone else notice when Justin said "tut-tut, it looks like rain" From Winnie the Pooh, haha

[@ShadowFireChronicles]

Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@adamthewoo]

+▲APRTV▲ it was fun

[@lucifersinister3397]

Hey Adam maybe you can bring shovels next time and dig through the entrance for a part 2.

[@adamthewoo]

+Lucifer Sinister would be fun

[@suzieq1218]

Yeah, you should always keep some excavation equipment in your van: shovel, gloves, headlamp, etc. for instances like these.

[@corinth1121]

Damn, Mr Woo, that traffic seems pretty fast and sketchy. Looks like you got yourself a dead body or carcass down there on the floor of the tunnel- neato! yep glad you took the high road, didn't get stuck in yer van. Whelp, your can't stop progress boyzzzz! now where's my glacier water bottle..... a good vid to have Justin on, wouldn't be fun out there alone with the coyotes, and btw the tracks look like a pack mule...

[@Hugo-py2ce]

it's cool to watch you Adam always an adventure! thanks.

[@richardthered]

I love this video, the usa has so many interesting locations. Thanks Adam. Love your video's mate. Rich UK

[@adamthewoo]

+richardthered thanks richard

[@tomb306]

I like that place .very nice .good job on the video !!!

[@LSweet2007]

I like the Jack Tripper look you've got going on!

[@nidaauto]

Nice job as usual Adam

[@CLUBBAHOLIC]

Was so scared for u guys where the bees were... But it was hilarious when Justin found the swimming shorts😂 I love history n all sorts of historic places n it was just so awesome for me to see the top part of that tunnel being compared to the old photo. Thanks for bringing me here. America, she a great country....!

[@adamthewoo]

+Sherry Andriani thanks for watching Sherry, glad you enjoyed it

[@demonarvizu721]

you definitely need to get up in that tunnel, I want to see if anything lives in there. thanks for the video, keep them coming. ...

[@laurelcrawford777]

thank you! my husband, from Sunnymead, used to take his sibs thru a scary walk in the tunnel in the early 1960's. Be careful.

[@minitzonthesun]

Woot woot for the My Girl references. We have two dogs named Veda and Thomas J.

[@Goleon]

+minitzonthesun Took me a bit to get it as I haven't seen the movie in ages.

[@estherl2407]

Interesting place of history

Looking great series.

[@KemosabeOlivas]

Hey Adam, thank you for visiting my city (Moreno Valley, CA)!!!! love your videos and thanks for everything you done!!!

[@ToyHaunterAdventures]

Another well done video! Hope we can hang out and shoot something next time im at Dland :)

[@JustSheilz]

That was fascinating! I think Justin was on the right track when he suggested they may have dynamited the entrances.

[@peanutbutterwaltz]

Great video!!! Thank you for braving the hills that have eyes, and the sugar sand

[@ExploringWithJacobOfficial]

awesome! I hope you can get an inside look

[@chrism8225]

Tracks at the end are from donkeys which are not a problem but coyotes and mountain lions have been spotted in the hills around Moreno Valley. Thank you for the video and keep up the good work.

[@adamthewoo]

+Chris McFeeters oh man thats frightening. good thing we didnt run across any

[@chrism8225]

I've only seen coyotes in the morning walking up to the M on Box Springs Mountain and donkeys are calm even come down into neighborhood.

[@GloveSlapSAM]

I love the old school youtube feel to your vlogs. fucking awesome.

[@fluffybee3332]

I applaud you Adam. I love your videos; I feel like I am on the adventure with you.

[@austinwise9442]

Made a drinking game out of every time the word "actually" was spoken. I'm so wasted right now...

[@otisb3461]

Austin Wise you actually did that?

[@athanstreitz9178]

You Rock Mr. Woo! Love your site. Have been to many places you explore but never in the depth you've ventured. Thanks for your personal research prior to each as that adds icing on the cake! Perhaps you might pursue network programmers i.e. History, Discovery, i.e. "Mysteries at the Museum". So many lame programs that fill voids and many display video without really researching program content only wow you with video/photos. You and Jinger , etc make your vids fun.

[@maddrummer910]

I drive this almost every day during work week. had no idea this was here

[@mf5739]

Big fan of your videos I sub last 3 months and still love you guys

[@hsonrson1494]

Thank you.. That's really cool.. And one can sense you are excited as well..

+Hson Rson I get excited about the simplest things, ha

[@hsonrson1494]

[@roselanemable3141]

I think you'd get in trouble if you dug that tunnel & explored it Adam.

[@silkysays3557]

I met a man in LA once with the name Moreno. Wow, he really owned a whole valley!

[@oldmanhuppiedos]

Interesting story, Nice red sky. Hans

[@brianlaughlin8974]

Wow, bricks and concrete!

[@Robothut]

A toy store RC truck will have a very limited range, you would have to get a hobby store type 4 wheeler. It would be better to find a Woo friend that has one and let then control it for you. The big problem would be unless you have a live video feed from the truck like the Drones are using then you will not be able to control where the truck goes. Even if the tunnel is straight the truck will get off center and will need to be corrected so a live video feed is required.

[@dunklunk1688]

[@junkfoodwizard264]

This channel doesn't get enough credit

[@tommyruiz1620]

this was a pretty cool video, made me go out to see the tunnel for myself. There is also an abandoned tunnel in the badlands but I have no idea what it was used for, just rember coming across it a few years back.
