I remember seeing one in Mexico for the first time ever, and walking up to it to gaze down into it. It was so freaking deep. This was in Mexicali, and El Niņo had just hit us.
So I am stannding there, looking down into it, and then realize something terrible. There was no wall under my feet, and I was standing on about a foot of dirt that was not being held up by anything under it. The shiver that went down my spine was intense. I backed away really carefully. I don't ever want to see one ever again!
