If you (or anyone, really) get a picture of it, can you send it to trails@arlingtonva.us? Gracias.

He’s just looking forward to my photo-essay on the sinkhole that ate North Arlington.

Those are speed holes.

And not to be confused with any other holes you might come across while using the trails.

Jump on it the way that people jump on grenades in war movies. Take one for the team!

Mail has been sent.

Spectators were gathering to see how huge it has become.

But seriously…. Most of the soil under this section of trail has eroded away. If this isn’t fixed, that whole area will likely cave in.

I heard back from Arlington on this. They’ve sent someone out to inspect it and will take action.

I have received no responses from any of the other agencies that I contacted. I will be contacting the United Nations later today.

Newsflash: The hole will not be filled in since the Fish & Wildlife Service has determined that it is a critical watering hole for endangered duckies. It is now considered a protected wildlife habitat and a cordon area of 100 miles will be established as soon as the various governmental agencies figure out who has jurisdiction. To that end, I spied bean counters on the George Mason bridge this morning counting cyclists (a.k.a. duckie killers).
