Have you ever fallen through an old septic tank? We have. Had to build a road under us to drive out. Took 2 days and a night sleeping on quite a slant!
We were ranch sitting a 10,000 acre ranch in Oregon and when we pulled in we were directed to this spot. The rancher didn't know there was a septic tank there. Luckily, on a ranch there is a tool for everything and a crew that can fix anything. :)
The volunteer gig was awesome after the first two days!
Many years ago I drove a propane delivery truck. I backed up to a tank at an old adobe residence and promptly dropped the truck into an old 'cess pool' which was a precursor to a septic tank. It was just covered with rotting boards and some dirt. It took a crane & a tow truck to get that 2500 gal truck out.
