Default Boulder Tunnel and Comet MT

Been on a two week journey in the Disco visiting family, and seeing sites we normally can't get to in the car. Here are a few pics of the ghost town of Comet Montana, along with the Boulder Tunnel, which is an old Great Northern Tunnel about 6100 feet long and at 6200ish feet elevation. It was used a few years back to shuttle fire fighting equipment, but remains open and used by primarily ATVs and off road vehicles. Its a wide tunnel, we actually passed two ATVs coming the other direction, water got a little deep in it at the far end, probably around a foot or so, but the Disco seems to have handled it well as it made the rest of the 200 mile journey to my inlaws fine. Got to try out the hill descent mode as the "road" from Comet to the Boulder Tunnel is very steep going down, the pic does not do it justice, but have had fun seeing what the Disco can do with just a small lift.
