为了健康着想,施密特于19世纪末从罗德岛搬到加利福尼亚沙漠。据称,他在1902年开始挖掘隧道。挖掘工具包括鹤嘴锄、锤子、手摇钻和炸药。甚至有时他还自己往外背岩石。后来,他安装了铁轨和矿车来输送碎片。
Until this day, the Burro Schmidt tunnel is still a source of great mystery and awe, and continues to rouse the curiosity of people who visit it. He had no formal training and picked up most of the skills required for the job while doing it, but the accuracy of his work is unmistakable. Still, the question remains – why would anyone want to build a tunnel to nowhere?
直至今日,布罗·施密特隧道仍旧是个谜团,始终困扰着来访的人们。施密特本人没有接受过任何正式培训,只是在开凿过程中习得的技能,然而他的工程却准确到分毫不差。然而,为什么会有人想要修筑这样一条不通往任何地方的隧道呢?
When a man religiously sticks to a ostensibly meaningless task, he naturally gives rise to a whole lot of questions. He lived a life so simple that the theory of hidden treasure simply doesn’t check out. Several people have explored Schmidt’s land and work in an attempt to find some answers to his life’s work, but he left no records of his motivation.
当一个人虔诚地投入到一项看似无意义的工作时,他自然地也不会问那么多问题。施密特一生节俭,关于隧道中有埋藏的宝藏一说也从未得到过证实。有人去探索过这片土地和隧道,试图找到他施工的理由,然而关于开凿动机却未留下只字片语。
