When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

a 100 year old abandoned gypsum mine in South Dakota was suddenly discovered by residents in a residential housing development, as water caused sinkholes to suddenly open into the mine, about 25 feet under the lawns, and a dozen homes are now in the dangerous zone
Weaver also found old vehicles in the cave. Older residents in the county have told him the area was a dump or a landfill at some point.
Christopher Pelczarski is a caver, and he's seen a lot of underground passageways. But he's never seen anything like the abandoned gypsum mine that was exposed by sinkholes this week in Black Hawk.
For one thing, he never expected to find a car down there.
There was one place where there is actually literally a car coming out of a hole from the surface, an old car. It's like a 1950's Ford, Pelczarski said. "Yeah, it's half sticking out of the ceiling, basically.

He figures there used to be a scrapyard or garbage dump on the surface, and the car somehow sank down from there.

?The cavers mapped 2,300 linear feet of passages, Pelczarski said. There were additional tunnels they couldn't access because they were flooded or collapsed. Some of the tunnels were big ? 12 feet high and 40 feet wide.

Huntrods said construction on the subdivision began in 1992 and was finished in a few years. He provided the name of the developer but the Journal couldn't find any information about the company online.  It was in operation from 1910 to 1926 though, according to this


The mine is150 feet wide in the biggest cavern and at least 600 feet long. He said the mine may be longer, but there are collapsed and unstable areas too dangerous to explore.



Home owner John Trudo said he wants to know if developers or a government agency knew the community was being built on top of an old mine. "Did they know they should not have built on this and somebody turned a blind eye so somebody could make a dollar?"

    Those pictures of the gypsum mines under the houses are very scary.  It is sad to think that those things were allowed to happen Most likely the builders of the homes and everyone involved are long gone.
