Devil's Kettle
Half of a waterfall goes into the river; the other half disappears

There is a mysterious waterfall in Judge Magney State Park in Minnesota. Half of the water drops 50 feet into the Brule river; the other half falls into a cauldron and disappears.
Dyes and ping pong balls have been dropped into the pothole in an attempt to trace its route and find its outlet - presumably the water winds its way underground to Lake Superior, a mile away - but the other end of the Devil's Kettle has yet to be found.

I wonder if the GPS would work - I don't think the signal would penetrate the rocks? At least if it resurfaced the signal would indicate approximately where it comes out - assuming it does. A lot of people say it empties into Lake Superior but that is just a guess on their part.

I live in Minnesota, and I have never heard of this before until I saw a movie. This is just kind of creepy. It would be kind of cool if they did figure out where it came out, but I like the whole mystery of it.

drop some ping pong balls with GPS tracking devices in them. They can put them on animals, why can't they put them in ping pong balls? Then they could track the exact route the objects take on GPS. Voila.
