There is an amazing tunnel that cuts right through a mountain while crossing the Continental Divide on I-70 near Denver. We drove through it on our way to Steamboat this summer.
While I am in the tunnel I like to think about how many tons of rock are directly above my head. The number must be truly astronomical.
It can really get inside your head if you let it.

I think the amount of tons of rock above you head in the Eisenhower tunnel is truly terrestrial.
Reminds me of the lincoln and holland tunnels that take you to and from nyc, very crazy to think you are surrounded by water. I just hope for no leaks.
Don't stress about it. It's still WAY safer than trying to cross the Rockies (and Sierra Nevadas) in a covered wagon. Just read the Donner story.
Bet you didn't know that some of my ancestors were the McDonners, and I've been told we taste like chicken.
You're McFunny!
