More about the Blanding Tunnel:"Building the Tunnel: A Remarkable Journey of Determination and Devotion" is a historical account written by Paul A. Brown based on an interview with Vet Bradford, shedding light on the arduous struggle to bring water to the south side of the mountain. The story unfolds as Brother Bradford, accompanied by George Lameman, visits the Aneth area of the Navajo Reservation to discuss the Weatherization and Low Income Home Repair Programs. During their journey, Brother Bradford shares his profound knowledge of the "Tunnel" and its significance, a subject close to his heart. The narrative explores the history of the San Juan Mission and the growth of Blanding, highlighting the divine providence that guided the town's inhabitants. The tale encapsulates the efforts of individuals like David Patten Black, Walter C. Lyman, and Marvin F. Lyman, who envisioned and embarked on the construction of the tunnel. Brother Bradford's involvement in the project becomes a remarkable testimony, as he accepts a call from Leland Redd, the President of the San Juan Stake, to complete the tunnel, marking it as his missionary assignment. Financial challenges and opposition from certain factions of Blanding created obstacles throughout the six-year construction period. Despite the setbacks, Brother Bradford's unwavering dedication, along with the labor of numerous workers, ensured progress. The tunnel project fostered a sense of unity and adherence to moral principles, with no alcohol, smoking, abusive language, or mistreatment allowed on-site. Brother Bradford's prayers for the workers' safety and the practice of blessing meals exemplified the project's sacred nature. The completion of the tunnel represented a triumph of faith and determination. Brother Bradford's recollection of the momentous meeting point, where the two ends of the tunnel connected with a minor deviation, reflects the divine intervention that guided their path. The story also highlights the trust placed in Al Scorup, who loaned Brother Bradford $20,000 to fulfill the financial obligations of the project. The completion of the tunnel not only ensured water access for Blanding but also exemplified the fulfillment of prophecy and the realization of dreams held dear by those involved. Following the completion of the tunnel, Brother Bradford and Marvin F. Lyman embarked on a mining venture together before being called on another mission to Alaska. The remarkable tale showcases the dedication, sacrifice, and unity of those involved, paying homage to the visionary Walter C. Lyman and the profound impact he had on the community. Brother Bradford's narrative provides a unique glimpse into the human spirit, the power of faith, and the enduring legacy of those who selflessly dedicated themselves to the betterment of their community. As a testament to the past, "Building the Tunnel" serves as a captivating historical account, capturing the essence of a remarkable undertaking that transformed the lives of individuals in Blanding.
