First, apologies about non-sequitor topics and bad spelling:

Aaron, where on earth did you come up with the silly notion of tunnels
being straight????

Get a book on the Anza-Borrego National Desert, (its about 3 hours
from LA, just across the mountains from Palomar (worth seeing)).  They
have train tunnels though parts of that area which have NO STRAIGHT 
stretches at all.  

As to the origianl posting, I seriously doubt that one could transport
an item as large as the shuttle booster from CA to FA because there
would be too many obstructions along the way
