Mel returns with updates on the bottomless hole discovered on his Washington property near Ellensburg. Years earlier, Mel contacted the show about a nine-foot diameter hole with stonework edging where locals had dumped thousands of tires, refrigerators, dead animals, and household waste for generations without ever filling it. Using fishing equipment, Mel initially dropped line to 3,600 feet without reaching bottom or water. Ultimately he extended monofilament line to eighty thousand feet—over fifteen miles—with no indication of reaching the hole's end. The lifesavers attached to test for water remained dry. Mel explains the hole's mysterious origins, noting it predates Ellensburg's recorded history and was always associated with the property. He mentions a whale bone inexplicably growing from a tree in town for over a century, suggesting the region harbors unexplained phenomena. The hole never filled despite decades of dumping massive quantities of material. Mel's matter-of-fact account of this geological impossibility captivated millions of listeners and spawned investigations, though the hole's ultimate nature remains unexplained. This stands as one of radio's most compelling unsolved mysteries.
