![]() I stumbled across this earlier today. Below is the quote and link to picture. Although I've seen several areas with similar holes, this particular set is right next to Bastrop Bayou, near the bridge where CR 227 crosses over it. Approximate lat/long is N29.094 W95.290. Usually the holes are near a body of water: a river, stream, bayou, canal, etc. And they are always water filled. Any ideas? http://www.texas-flyer.com/LightFlyer/holes.jpg |

They look too regular to be natural sinkholes to me. I wonder if they're abandoned sulphur mining drill holes. The area is known for extracting sulphur by pumping superheated water down to deposits to melt the mineral, which is then forced to the surface with compressed air. |
