   A first look at the #underground visit to the Sanford Underground Research Facility. We arrived early in the morning to gear up and then catch a 07:30 cage (elevator) to the 4850ft level. We then rode a tram on a rail line from the Yates Shaft and the “Davis Campus” of the lab over to the “Ross Campus”, where the DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) will be constructed.
