Bottomless Pit

This is in Mammoth Cave somewhere in Kentucky. It’s called the Bottomless Pit because in the 18th century the first people to explore it [using lamps and ropes and usually going by themselves] didn’t dare go down to investigate how deep it actually was, and a rock was allegedly thrown and no one heard it strike. The name stuck.

im glad theres a fence so no one falls in laughing

huh. that’s not the definition of bottomless i remember

The sign is true. The bottomless pit actually starts at 65 feet down.

Thanks bob, thought the sign was a fake…

It says 65 ft deep, not 65 ft away or down, just FYI.

Make up your mind!

apparently bottomless means something else or youre wrong by idk… infinity feet
