The Black Hole

Habitat Description: Forested River

Natural History Info: This spot off of Harrington Rd isn’t marked on any map, and is known to the locals as “The Black Hole”. This one particular spot in the creek is at least 10 feet deep, and is safe to jump in from the surrounding cliffs. Other than this one spot though, the creek is less than four inches deep.

What drew my attention: My friends and I were hanging out here for a fun afternoon in the sun, so this seemed like a good candidate for the assignment.
