I lived in Garden Villas from '65-'68 and not but a couple blocks from Sims Bayou. Some friends and I took a Saturday morning to walk along the bayou hunting for pet turtles. Now this was before flood management and the stream was plenty wild. We headed east from Swallow and were to end up near the P-farm on the other side of Mykawa. One of the other kids had been there before and knew how to get through the fence and he said we could grab some carrots and strawberries. I didn't score any turtles that day but our little clandestine operation into forbidden territory for some ill-gotten booty was pretty scary fun.
