ARCHBALD.   This pothole isn't the road danger its name evokes; rather, it's a depression 38 feet deep scoured out by a glacier during the last ice age more than 10,000 years ago. The pothole, which stretches 42 feet across, was exposed by miners in the late 19th century and then cleared of debris and made into a prominent tourist attraction. Although its popularity waned for a time, the area is being upgraded with recreational facilities and trails. The 150-acre park around the pothole offers plenty of secluded natural beauty.   (© 10Best)
