i cant believe someone took time to nominate something as the worlds largest pile of dirt. was there even any competition?

[aaronfelipe]

hay i know where a rock cory is that is almost that deep here in ga. and u can get in it , and swim its almost filled up . sum old peps told me they used to swim in it 40 yr ago.

[Hektik]

Ummmm I dont know about you but i would'nt want to swim in that. are you talking about the one of beaver ruin cause that is WAY smaller than this

[The BUCKY]

i used to live like 2 min from the biggest rock quarry in GA. it was so big they ran power lines down through the hole instead or running them around it. something like 1/2 mile across in places. and around 600 meters deep. i grew up in the granit capitol. we never swam in any of them. kinda spooky that you could throw in a big rock and watch it sink for like 5 or 6 sec. water was really clear.

[hondachick22]

ben hill is were im talking about , and i only swam there when i had about 20 friends with us , i was like if there is anything in here it wont get us all.lol

[Hektik]
