Posted by JohnInMi Welcome aboard! That 3rd photo was especially nice

Hey, thanks guys. Appreciate it.
That third photo was of the old Dale reservoir. The only one that was taken with an actual camera and not a phone. We got lucky and the hatch, which was normally held shut by the bucket of an excavator, wasn't blocked this night. We flipped the hatch open, climbed down a short ladder and a small set of stairs, and that's the view in photo 3.
A couple days later we returned, and someone had burned down the porta-potty next to the access hatch. Thanks, kids.
Number 7 was interesting to walk around. It used to be an active water park just outside of McAllen, TX. Once Schlitterbahn opened on South Padre Island, it crushed the McAllen park. This particular picture was of the 'bar' area. The little white columns on the right were the bar stools. The picture just above it was from some promotional material I found online, at a slightly different angle.
