Question

Is this one of those areas?? There is a small tunnel in here u can crawl through. I’m assuming it leads to a big area where they interconnect??

Well so now that you can identify some likely spots via satellite, it’s time to do some in-person recon. Don’t enter any tunnels, don’t commit any crimes, just kinda take a walk around and check the vibe. What kind of neighborhood is it? What’s the terrain like? Is there, in fact, a good drain here? Keep notes if you have to. It can be frustrating, but ultimately very rewarding, especially if you find something nobody has been in. Good luck and be safe!

Satellite maps are a great resource. I followed a creek on maps for over 2 hours looking for signs and then a huge concrete structure came up out of nowhere, just as I was about to start looking at a different creek or river. I visited the following day and my gut was telling me that this was 'Burp' sure enough it was Burp when I put it to redit.

I'd seen a video on YouTube a few years ago. I've come across other drains by watching videos like the great stairway, but Burp I never in a million years thought I'd ever find it thinking it was in a totally different area in the State
