Hey everybody and welcome to Expanded Perspectives Classic Rewind.

The show where we replay or re-air some of our favorite segments and interviews we did in the past.

Because some things deserve a listen to more than once.

Mel was interviewed over the phone and at the time of the interview he was not at home but in the town of Ellensburg, Washington.

Mel had bought this property so he claimed a few years earlier and the previous owners had owned the land for over 30 years prior to that.

The neighbors knew of the hole quite well and would regularly dump their garbage in it but the hole would never fill up.

It was a round pit with a stone retaining wall surrounding it and extending down about 15 feet below the ground surface.
