Spelunk..part III

In the end I resigned myself to digging up a section of the pipe.

Fortunately, by now we'd isolated the problem to somewhere between the pipe I'd sliced the top off of, and the end.

With the help of a trusty crew, we got to work.


In short order, a mere 3' from the outlet end of the pipe, we struck gold. Or air. Whichever. A mysterious hole beckoned...



We pulled out the end pipe and discovered it had been sitting "crooked"...and the bottom had a nice gap in it. And there was a veritable cavern underneath.



Further excavation revealed that the roughly square yard "antechamber" was connected o something bigger.

Much bigger.

Something so deep, that when I put this pipe down it, the pipe sank to the blue rag...



Dude. That's deeeeeep.
