Sinkhole

The past few years there have been quite a few stories of roads caving in.

In 2003, there was the Lisbon, Portugal sinkhole which was 30 ft. deep.

In 2008, there was the 40 ft. deep Picher, Oklahoma sinkhole.

In 2010, a 300 ft. deep pit opened up in Guatemala City.

And now, in 2017, the newest major sinkhole has appeared...


 
THE BRIDGEPORT ROAD SINKHOLE

Ok, so maybe it's not as intimidating as the other sinkholes, but it did cause traffic to be re-routed. A sewer collapse caused the hole and it should take crews about 2 weeks to fix the damage.

This sinkhole is about 50 yards from the Jameson Camp main entrance and this morning some of the gals took the opportunity to pose for a picture.


Nothing brings people together like a sinkhole. This photo will almost certainly be photoshopped into something more befitting of a disaster scene. Wait for it...
