THE SKIPPING RIVER

The river that cuts through the fields runs wide and strong at both beginning and end, but has sunk underground for most of it's length. Sinkholes where the earth has collapsed inward have become deep pools fed by the underground river, and the edges are often treacherous if you don't use the more gentle slopes. Even the larger pools can come upon you suddenly, hidden by the tall grass, but you can always find shelter from the sun or storms within their rock and soil walls.
