I heard about it on an Archaix episode. I did some research and I believe that the tunnels are underneath the old Pufferbelly restaurant and former train station on the edge of Grand Junction. I used to live there in the 90’s. Mount Garfield looks suspiciously like a bank from water damage and the entire valley is covered with alkaline deposits from salt water lake.

That valley has probably been underwater more than a few times, and not just from the river flowing. Alkali is everywhere in low lying areas around here. Lots of salinity from all the years of flood irrigation, for sure. I'm with you on placement of tunnels, though there would be a water issue from river levels. I used to work underground in Leadville. Takes a lot of concrete to stabilize underground structures. What brought you to the Grand Valley back then? if you don't mind saying.
