Devil's Sinkhole May Match Carlsbad Cave Size
Report from Rocksprings describes the Devil's Sinkhole ten miles east of town as an awe inspiring deep chasm with a 220 foot drop to a cave floor and a further 200 foot vertical descent to a main cavern. UT Texas expedition member J D McClung suggests the sinkhole may be as large as Carlsbad Cavern when underwater areas are included. Local rancher Hal Bradford notes strange pumping sounds and swallows by the entrance, with legends of blind fish and a dangerous approach for horses.
