OK guys.... I am out digging and cleaning out my drainage trench this morning when a hole opens up and all the water starts disappearing into the ground. This pics are with the hose running full bore to fill the trench.

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.

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.

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.
