Thanks for this! It brings back so many memories. My first experience going through the tunnel. I was young and terrified we would be crushed, fooled NY the illusion of the tunnel getting smaller and smaller. I screamed for my dad to stop the car while my mom told me to be quiet and close my eyes.

Years later I traveled the Chesapeake Tunnel with my son every summer from the ages of 2 to 14. I learned to enjoy the bridge by then, the contrast if views from freedom on the bridge and confinement in the tunnel.

Yes, always good to connect with a fellow Eastern Shore native! Traveling between VA and MD, I always wondered about the stories of the homes and sites we drove by. Fodder for the imagination on a long drive.
