Steven's Quarry

Steven's Quarry is located just outside of Mystic Falls. The quarry has been a site for many events in timeline of the series; it was the place where Stefan and Damon Salvatore woke up while in transition after being killed by their father, where Stefan thought of committing suicide, where the sacrifice to break Klaus' hybrid curse took place, and where Silas dumped Stefan and the safe, after Stefan tried and failed to bury Silas' once-desiccated body. At the bottom of the quarry, Stefan spent three months drowning, dying, and reawakening over and over again while trapped in the safe.
==Early History==
In 1864, both Stefan and Damon Salvatore came back to life in transition to becoming a vampire. Emily Bennett and her brother had brought them there to recover. It was there that she explained to them that they were in transition, and that if they did not feed on human blood, they would die.

In The Sun Also Rises,  Klaus chose this spot as the location where he would break his hybrid curse by sacrificing a werewolf, a vampire, and a Petrova doppelgänger.

When the safe was opened by Sheriff Forbes, Stefan was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a dead corpse with its throat cut out.
In Original Sin, it was revealed that the safe Stefan was locked in all summer was fished out by the man in the safe, on the newly-resurrected Qetsiyah's orders. She continued to stay at the now-dead man's cabin near the quarry as she plotted Silas' death.

===Season Three===
In I Was Made To Love You, Ethan Machado decided to become a vampire after ingesting vampire blood from MG out of desperation to become special again. To ensure he wouldn't try to stop him, Ethan stole his daylight ring and walked out into the sunlight. He drove to the quarry and prepared to jump into the lake. Then, looking far ahead, a burning MG runs on water across the lake then leaps up to knock Ethan back. Still burning, MG does his best to snuff out the flames on his body while Ethan pulls him into the shadow of his truck and puts the daylight ring back on his finger.
That night, Ethan and MG talk. Ethan apologizes and promises to stop trying to be a hero and be happy with being his sidekick. MG, on the other hand, decides it would be better if they weren't friends anymore, so he compels Ethan to forget about their friendship and the supernatural world, and that he would never harm himself again. Ethan slips into unconsciousness and MG sadly walks away into the night.
