Here we are at Perkins tunnel and, as you can see, we’re 18 miles from Elkhorn City. The tunnel is 496′ long and was refaced in 1917…the date’s clear, but I went for the scenic shot, so you really can’t see it in this picture (but you do get to see the neat mile marker). This tunnel is at 37.161187, -82.370361, about .5 mile west of Clinchco.
