Bear Creek Schuetzen Verein - Addicks Reservoir - Houston, Texas

[@LindyLooo99]

I assume that it’s maybe fall or winter? Because there is no way in God‘s green earth that I would be in that area in high grass in the summer or spring. There’s more snakes out there than there are people in Houston. They just overflow out there. You are a brave man!

Great archeological work! I love the ending!!

[@ayedollfacee]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@leenvisser4649]

Digging these videos. I like to go find places like this using old maps too. In my experience mounds like that are left over usually from the demolition. One of the tell tale signs that you've found something.

[@stanthereservoirrat5934]

Thanks. I like to wander around out there but I can only do it in the winter. To hot in the summer.

[@leenvisser4649]

@@stanthereservoirrat5934 I bet! I've visited my sister in Houston so I know what it's like. These videos definitely make me want to get an e-bike for exploring. I have an adventure motorcycle right now, which is great, but it's not so stealthy.

@@leenvisser4649 Yes, the quiet ebikes are great to view wildlife. They don't hear you coming down the trail.

Have seen the old abandoned Hwy 6 bridge, it was left in the woods after Hwy6 got straightened and moved over slightly.

[@stanthereservoirrat5934]

Yes, west of new highway 6.

[@heatherpaulson8985]

I have been wanting to hike in to go see that

@@htxmatt1206 it's going over south mayde creek. You should be able to find it on the map.

Stan maybe the deep freeze 2 years ago got it? I think it would have fewer limbs left if it was from the drought 10 years ago.

[@billrimmer5596]

Cool history!! Thank u Stan

[@jetmelt]

Would have been great to be a part of that!

[@randallalan4221]

Really enjoyed the video! I don't guess there is any place nearby to safely park a vehicle to explore the old gun club site?

[@stanthereservoirrat5934]

Yes! If you are heading north on hiway 6, just as you come over the levy, there is a pull out on the right. Park there. Go thru around the gate (it's legal). Then head north, go thru the clearing where the power lines are. It's right there where the woods start again.

[@randallalan4221]

Thanks Stan for the reply! I have parked at Bush Park and walked along Buffalo Bayou in the past and found one old farm-home site and what I think is an old roadbed. Those live oak trees don't like standing high water for long and sadly that's what killed them. Never knew about the gun clubs...if that section of woods could only speak think of the stories they could tell! @@stanthereservoirrat5934

[@scotty.1649]

7:15 theres something under the mound. What is it?

[@stanthereservoirrat5934]

After talking to a few people, I believe the remains of the building is under the mound. They tore down all the buildings when they made the reservoir.

[@peterdale8929]

Fascinating.

[@stephenmiller5105]

Where did you find the information about the four target shooting clubs? Where did you find the picture of the Bear Creek club hall? Thank you!

[@henchbrospicks]

All the information and photos I got on the web. Just researching and reading.

[@jaliboy01]

will you be uploading new videos soon?

[@stanthereservoirrat5934]

I'm having trouble coming up with ideas. Do you have any for me?

[@jaliboy01]

@@stanthereservoirrat5934 no not really, but I was wondering how many official trails does the reservoir have? Are they mapped?

[@stanthereservoirrat5934]

@@jaliboy01 no they are not all mapped. That should be my next video!

[@jaliboy01]

@@stanthereservoirrat5934 that would be awesome always wanted to ride them but not sure where to start nor end lol considering they are also my back yard. The only trail I have done is the one that starts in concord bridge park by the bayou and ends in war memorial by bear creek.
