7. A large crack has opened up in the wall next to a large boulder that has rolled down from the depths above, this cracking was caused by a 20 ft. wide hole that has opened up in the side of the mountain. The hole is at least 30 ft. deep and it is slowly forming a path toward the entrance of a large cave. The boulder at the base of the hole has been slowly making its way to the right. The boulder has been making its way to the right of the hole, that path has led it to a small hole in the wall and it has rolled down into this cave. As the boulder rolls down toward the hole, it continues to make its way to the right until it's rolling down a large path toward the entrance of a large cave. The boulder is so large that it will roll down into the ground below and it will continue to roll down the path toward the entrance of a large cave.
