Episode Goofs
Near the beginning of the episode when Travis runs into the hole, the shadows of the camera crew can be seen.
At one point, Sam says that it's midnight. However, moments later the sun rises.
After checking out the hole, the brothers drive to the BBQ. During their conversation along the way, a sheet of plastic apparently covers the car door window on Sam's side for no apparent reason.
