Lake Travis report on Fox News

[AustinPDDiver]

I saw that, cool. I was hoping they'd get my boat in the shots.... I will have to study it more. The remains of the buildings look cool. Anybody have a plane or chopper, perhaps some aerial recon is in order.

I'm a helicopter pilot here in town, and actually get out to the lake on a fairly regular basis...I don't have a lot of chances to take pics, but I can tell you that I have seen things out there that I have never seen before. I have dived on the old Lake Travis Scuba Park..where the old house boat and shrimper are, and been in 65 feet of water. The houseboat is out of the water now...its pretty crazy! I am waiting for the old airplane fuselage at Mansfield to surface.....

I am up for an exploration if someone can identify where it is located. We can tag it on the GPS for when the lake rises.

I managed to get my boat in the water and tried to look for that house with no luck yet. I looked at both places suggested earlier in the thread and did not find it.
Here are a few pictures I took while exploring.

This is how I got my boat out <---video

In the news report video, it looks like it is on the right side as you enter a cove. There is a wall of stacked rocks in one of my pictures above that I thought should have been where the house was located. Graveyard point.
Below I have posted my GPS tracks of the places I looked at.

YEP that's the spot you passed. Right in front of Hurst Creek to the left is the area labeled graveyard point with rumors that houses were left behind and flooded when the DAM opened.
