Water ran into this hole for a good five minutes with the hose on full bore. We dug around a little, but couldn't figure where the water was going. Then, either we filled it up or we plugged it, and the water started draining down the trench again.
Mole tunnel? Haven't really had moles there and it's kinda deep for a mole... Where'd the water go?
hmm, if you were down here, I'd say snakes, definitely. However, I have no idea what varmints y'all have up there.
Into the ground.
*ducking... and running*
You just flooded Bilbo's basement!
You should dig it up and see.
Right! Laundry and lifting time. I want to have time to go to the used bookstore this evening - I have decided to do most of my Christmas shopping there this year.
Hi there Hair...looks like an Isengard problem to me....you sure Saruman hasnt been digging around making orc tunnels underneath your house???
Evening Hair - guessing an old critter hole, depending on what you have up there. Tunnels can be extensive and if the ditch either intercepted it or you just uncovered an old entrance or ventilation hole, you could lose a lot of water in it before it fills up.
