George D. Keith & Sons Ranch...aka, the "Rattlesnake Ranch"

Just wanted to share an update on the "Rattlesnake Ranch", listed in the UER database in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Turns out this house was built in the early part of the 20th century by a man named George D. Keith, who was the brother to and co-founder of the Ben E. Keith Food Service Company in Fort Worth. There's quite an interesting and sad history, including murder, that goes with this ranch house.

See the entire update in the history section of the database listing:

Here's a few shots I made out there this past full moon...

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

I remembered reading your post about hearing something down there and I cautiously looked inside. It didn't have as much water as your picture but there wasn't anything living in there. Must have gone south for the winter.

Could've been a rattlesnake. They are adept swimmer and will take to water to catch prey, mates, or escape a predator or harassment.
