This was a cool drive! I was able to follow along as you went past Verns on 190 then made a right onto 356 at the Shell gas station. I feel like I visited Onalaska.
We subbed to you, Frank. Nice area. Jerry wants to know if you are near Texarkana? Enjoy your lunch. In case you're interested, we'll be live again tomorrow night a 7 pm EST 🙂
I live in Onalaska on Lake Livingston about a 110 miles North of Houston. Thank you for subscribing. I haven't published a video over the holidays. But I will be posting some more videos in January. See you tomorrow.🙂
Hello, Mr. Frank. Thank you for posting this video, it was nice to rehash old memories. I live in NC now, but I spent all of my life in Southeast TX up until 8 yrs ago. When I was a teen, (I'm 54 now) my favorite swimming holes were Kickapoo Creek and a place with a beach-like area where the road dead-ended at a lake. I seem to remember that there was an abandoned town purposefully flooded by Lake Livingston water authority? Sorry if my memory is incorrect. I would love it if someone could tell me more info about this, as I've searched everywhere on the Internet with absolutely no record of this event being mentioned. I do remember, some time later, hearing of a person trying to salvage cars out of the lake, but he was forced to put them back due to laws about man-made lakes. Anyway, I enjoyed your video; God bless you and yours.

@@frankintx699 So you are a native tarheel. 😄I'm currently living in Western NC, in the mountain town of Bakersville - a quiet place that only had about 450 people when I moved here. I love it, it's like Mayberry! Quite an adjustment from being in and around Houston all of my life. I fell in love with these mountains and never looked back.
@@frankintx699 I think I figured out the answer to my curiosity about the flooded town. If I'm guessing correctly, the sawmill that grew the town in the early 1900's fizzled out when lumber was depleted, and people (I'm assuming) moved away, so the area of town underwater was probably abandoned. I had always been curious about the story behind the underwater buildings there.
Hello Frank! I just subscribed ) That was a nice drive, keep them coming!

I grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina and lived in Raleigh before I moved to Houston in 1981.

@@txkitten9127 Not totally a native tarheel. I was born in Berlin Germany in the early 50s and lived in Germany until 65.
I've never seen that park. Is that new?
Yes I think it's about six years old.
