I recall seeing photos on TOTV, of another large pond that went the way of a sink hole, it was a few years back, I think. I admit, it was a bit of a shock to see the size & scope of it. Did anyone take pics of the Ashland sinkhole that they can share with us?

From looking at the map, it does appear to be a very large pond . . . . with weather conditions the way they have been - long term drought and recent heavy rains, I am not surprised. It does make you wonder though - where next?
