Once this was a pond.
The farmer who owned it had no idea that his farm and his pond were sitting on a cavern.
Then, in the 1920's the bottom fell out of it~ well, at least the portion covered by boards.
When the farmer realized his pond was gone, only to be replaced by a hole in the ground, he boarded up the hole to prevent his small daughters from falling in and getting hurt.
The hole remained secured for 40 years until he sold the farm.
The new owners opened up the hole and began to explore their caverns!
Makes me wonder how many more caverns are out there boarded up?
If every fresh water spring could be coming from a cavern, don't you have to change the way you look at those springs?
