Labor of Love

How and why would someone want to spend almost a decade digging their own network of tunnels?

“Labor of Love” follows Slim Jim (Eric) and his vision for a series of tunnels that he has been creating for over 8 years. Nestled in Western Wisconsin, this tunnel system includes an overlapping, claustrophobia-inducing maze, and a massive sloped track to remove sand. It’s not just about the tunnels, though. Above ground there are many more things that make “Sandland”, “Sandland” .
