 If you knew Danny, you know he loved the outdoors.  He led many a person through the caves in the mountain above Jenkins.  The bottom picture was taken in the old Jenkins Tunnel that runs through the mountain from Pound, Virginia.  The tunnel was used for only a few years by Consolidation Coal Company to haul coal.  At some point the tunnel fell in on the Virginia side of the tunnel.  That side was a wooden structure.
