Why not just go forward and explore the new caverns an water ways?

Test it's climbing ability on the other side of the hole.

on a side note, the driver is really fortunate it didnt just roll over in the water...it really could have gone a lot worse!

That's one very lucky guy, earlier this year we had some flash flooding & a road collapsed just like that. The driver, his wife, there 2 kids & the cousin (child) were washed away. Very very sad.

Ahh, just a little pothole.

If it rolled, it would have landed right on them. :shock:

the real question is did the road collapse under him or did he think it was just covered with water and tried to drive through it? :? :shock:

Yeah, here in PA that would just be a pothole... :lol: Actually it looks a lot like the area near where I went to college...limestone underneath would wash away commonly.

I'd vote for the latter of the two being the more likely case.
