nice if you&#8217;re the one exploring it, it makes it incredibly difficult to find various sites if you hear rumors of them and want to follow up to see what all the fuss is about.\u00a0 That was the case with the site Andreas and I set out to find, we&#8217;ll call it &#8220;the funnel&#8221; in this blog entry to avoid giving the real name away.\u00a0 We had been told about it, and finally had a general idea of where it was located.\u00a0 After spending almost 5 hours driving around the forest, we finally found an access road that allowed us to access the riverbank near the GPS coordinates we had.\u00a0 Because of how late it was, we didn&#8217;t have time to dive this site.<\/p>\n<p>Along the drive, we found several sinkholes which we marked on our GPS to look out for next time.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1501 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a
