“About 120 miles east of Albuquerque, on the eastern edge of the town of Santa Rosa, N.M., lies a tiny oval of blue water – a spring-fed sinkhole about 80 feet wide and 81 feet deep – known as the Blue Hole. Sometime ago a group of scuba divers dove into the Blue Hole, eager to explore every nook and fissure of the smooth-walled sinkhole. After climbing out, they realized one of their divers had disappeared. Six months later, the body of that diver finally surfaced, but not in Santa Rosa. It was discovered, the story claims, in Lake Michigan – more than a thousand miles away – naked, waterlogged and with much of its skin scuffed off, as if it had been pushed and scraped through miles of rocky tunnels.”

Wild story, the article goes on to say that as far as they know, they a have recovered all of the bodies from the caves that have been lost. So they think it was just a myth. But imagine if there where huge long aquifers running through the country.
The longest/largest Aquifer on record is the Ogallala Aquifer, and it only covers 8 neighboring states.
