If I remember correctly doesn’t the Creek run right up to the Obama Podesta house? The tunnel was dug because there were two wives the digger had. But it became quite useful to others.

My opinion is that a tunnel system already existed - possibly from the Revolution era or the Civil War. Dyar probably just added a link to his house. I'm wondering if the tunnels were used to get insect specimens over to "The Rocks" mansion whose owner at the time was the son (David St. Pierre Gaillard) of the chief engineer on the middle portion of the Panama Canal, David du Bose Gaillard. The house was built in 1927. Dyar died in 1929. The son, and owner of The Rocks, ALSO WORKED ON THE PANAMA CANAL.

I FOUND THIS INTRIGUING ARTICLE THAT VERIFIES IT:

"Gaillard Descendent Takes Roosevelt Medals into Space

It is heard around the museum as artifacts and documents are processed and accessioned that the Panama Canal has connections everywhere; and often the connection is surprising. As with the recent Discovery shuttle launch, that was the case.

A fourth generation family member from an American worker’s family in Panama notes the statement that Zonians, or “Zonies,” seem to be everywhere. Dr. C. Robert Gibson, Jr., the son of Marie (Wright) Gibson and the late C. Robert and formerly of Gamboa, Canal Zone, is a member of the flight surgeon’s team at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Houston headquarters. In that capacity, Dr. Gibson discovered that NASA Astronaut Dr. Scott E. Parazynski, who would be one of the mission specialists aboard the 23rd shuttle mission to the International Space Station, also has family ties to the Panama Canal.

Parazynski’s connection to the Canal derives from his family ancestor, Colonel David DuBose Gaillard, a distinguished and widely acclaimed member of the US Army Corps of Engineers charged with the monumental task of cutting through the Continental Divide in Panama. The treacherous nine-mile strip of mountainous terrain, known as Culebra Cut, was later renamed Gaillard Cut in honor of Col. Gaillard, who died in 1913 before the Canal project was completed.

An intriguing aspect of the “Zonian” connection is that Gibson’s greatgrandfather and Parazynski’s ancestor, Col Gaillard, both were recipients of Roosevelt Medals, which were awarded to American employees of the Panama Canal between 1904 and 1914. Even more intriguing for Parazynski was the fact that Gaillard’s son, David St. Pierre Gaillard, also received a medal for his work with the Panama Canal. It is rare to have two medal recipients in one family, much less a father-son combination."

Rockefeller Calls for Long-Term Transportation Strategy

April 10, 2013

"JDR Head ShotWASHINGTON, D.C.--Chairman John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV today gave an opening statement at the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation hearing titled "Expanding the Panama Canal: What Does it Mean for American Freight and Infrastructure?"

Prepared Opening Statement – Senator John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, Chairman

Before the Panama Canal was completed in 1914, it took 13,000 miles and several months for a ship to travel from New York to San Francisco. It was an inefficient, dangerous, and costly way to do business, but for traders that relied on East Coast ports for exports and imports, it was the only option. American business leaders needed a way to bypass South America. They saw what the Suez Canal in Egypt did for trade between Europe and Asia and thought about what connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans would do for North American commerce. "

"The Canal is being expanded to accommodate ships carrying two and a half times the freight of those it currently transports. These ships are enormous and they can carry an awful lot of goods. The Panama Canal is poised to once again dramatically affect the movement of goods into and throughout the Western Hemisphere.

However, it is unclear how the expanded canal will affect trade patterns. Once larger ships can travel through the newly-widened canal, will we see a dramatic diversion in the amount of goods entering and leaving the country from our West Coast ports to the East and Gulf Coast ports? Alternatively, will the West Coast ports retain their stature as the busiest ports in the country, with the Canal expansion resulting in little additional traffic to ports on the other side of the country?"

"While no one may know the true outcome of the expansion’s effect on freight movement until it happens, one this is clear right now. We can invest in a strategic, long-term vision for our country’s role in this new, global economy. Or we can be stuck with inadequate infrastructure because we were unwilling to make the tough choices on investing in a strategic, long-term vision for our country’s role in this new economy."

So Dyer used it for his own illegal purposes and added to what was already there as you have discovered. But then the evil elites have taken one tunnels to the next level.
