How did Team BLAST get its name?
The oldest transportation tunnel in the United States is the Union Canal tunnel right here in Lebanon County. Team Blast was named to honor the difficult work it took to create this tunnel over two years between 1825 and 1827. The tunnel was done by hand and BLASTing with gunpowder.
