Houston Rendezvous and Evacuation points

Houston is a nightmare without a Zed outbreak. Traffic is already scary bad from 5 am to 10 am, and from 3pm until 8pm every day but the weekend, so a zed outbreak would be even worse.

The evacuations of Hurricanes Rita and Ike proved that getting out of Houston fast in a disaster/outbreak/panic is not going to happen (try 14 hours to go 60 miles during the Hurricane Rita evacuation!). The best plan for Houston seems to be to hunker down/shelter in place for a few weeks, then evac to pre-determined locations within a days walk/bicycle ride. (the streets, and freeways around Houston will definitely be clogged with derelict cars, again from first hand experience due to trying to evac during Rita, and Ike. Many people trying to evac during these hurricanes had no where to go due to hotels as far away as south Oklahoma and west of Austin TX being booked up. These people were stuck in their cars when the hurricane hit).

My plan:
Hunker in place in north east Houston for about 2-3 weeks. Then make my way to Lake Houston Dam, which is easily made defensible in the center of the dam as there is only two ways from land (from either shore) to get to the center facility of the dam, fishing is abundant from the center facility, And it is possible to easily escape via boat to any point on the lake.

The second choice (Maybe 1st choice) would be the 1960 Bridge over Lake Houston. Again, It would be easy to defend, by lining up abandoned cars on each end, fishing would be easy from the bridge, and a boat could be used to make a escape anywhere on the lake. Also next to the 1960 bridge on the east end, is a few small marinas, with sailboats, and motor boats. Once the bridge is cleared of derelict cars, there would be enough clear square footage that crops could be grown, if enough soil could be found/secured, and seeds can be located.(there is a Lowes, Home depot, and a few nurseries within a few miles of the bridge).

Anybody in the Brazos Valley, Roberston County or any area near that. First thing is first, Im former member of the Armed Services, now I contract overseas. So, the big paychecks here mean I can feed one habit to excess. I have this thing for guns. HAHA. With that beig said, that means I have alot, such as Ar-15's, Ak-47's, M1A, M40A4' A5'(In both .308 and .300), .45 ACP's and 9mm. Plus a few shotguns. With that I have plenty of ammo. AND I MEAN A ********. Here's something I havent seen anybody post and it makes sense if you think about it. Why do you need to go hit up stores for food stockpiles. You have guns right. If Z-Day comes to light and you have guns and enough people...Take the food from the unarmed ones. If they want to survive, they will have to give up the food for your protection services. Its pretty simple. If they resist, take them out. Thats less possible Zombie's for the future.
I think siting tight for the first few days or weeks is the best thing to do. Let everyone else EVAC and you just sit back and watch this mass cluster ****. Once its settled down a bit, go on your raids for what you need, make some ally's with survivors you meet and find a better stronghold. And yes, there is always a better stronghold. Once you've gathered weapons, food, water, fuel, vehicles, meds, and whatever else is it that you need...MOVE THE **** ON. Dont stay in one place to long, you'll run out of supply's. Oh, and dont forget sanitation, thats a must. You dont want to die from some funky diesease cause you didnt keep somewhat clean.
Now, Im no expert but this is what I would do. I have a few locations picked out in the area that I would used for BOL'S. Tell me what you guys think about my half-assed plan.

Come to the longhorn cavern area, we'll be setting up a new community in Hoover valley there.

I don't really care who knows it or comes. Everyone's welcome, just remember if you start problems we will kill you and take your crap. Hoover Valley is bordered by Lookout Mountain and Long mountain, Inks lake blocks one end and Lake LBJ at the other, the Colorado runs through it, the point is that at lookout posts from either Long mountain, or Lookout post, we can see you coming from atleast 30 miles away, we will be prepared. It we'll be a good communtiy, there are already two large ranches, four or five large farms, an orchid, and a (out of use)golf course. Plus Longhorn Cavern can be used as a last defense/fort/natural storage.

I don't know anyone in this area that cannot shoot well and most are vets(myself included). All of that is just a deterant to the people that plan to cause problems. Anyone who wants to build anew is welcome, all skills are necessary, no one is better than anyone else. Can't shoot a gun, but are an engineer, you're VERY welcome. In fact people like doctors and other specailist can expect better treatment than the run of the mill gun nut or survivalist, though those are welcome too. You get the idea.

This is a REAL plan with over thirty people actively involed(though not for zombies, we just assume the end of the world as we know to happen sooner than later). So even if something else causes the end(Solar Flare, CME, EMP Bombs, not to prepared for Nuclear war but whatever, economy collapse, Christ's return, etc.) still come on out, we will still be there(I won't in the event of the Rapture, but others might).

The population of Kingsland is about 5000, spread out over a large area, 65% of which are over 60 years old. I don't expect a lot of looting and there's no real city to move through. But I still understand your point, in a normal apocalypse(odd thing to say) moving and looting would be a non issue out here for the most part. Sure some might but not like in the cities. In a Z apoc. moving would be almost impossible at the begining, since most of the people in the community itself are barely hanging onto life, there'd be more zombies than non zombies right off the bat(if everyone who dies becomes a zombie, even still the old and sick are easy targets). There's 3 nursing homes I can think of off the top of my head and 4 lakeside retirement communities around.

Growing crops is different than growing plants. I know how to maintain a garden and its not hard for others to learn. Animals need land to grow. If its a community effort we won't have to maintain our own food but would still need roughly the same amount of land to feed us. My family will consume what three acres of land can roughly produce. Trade will also be important so you would want extra. So in the short I agree with you and have assumed that's how it would work out though it really hasn't been discussed. I really never pictured myself working a field unless necessary. I figured I'd be using my skills from the Navy and life to build, run, and maintain things like water treatments, fish farms, and fundamental energy production. We did decide that there would be no active police or militia, instead everyone would be called on to do their part and rotate watches until the world settled down. Much like the volunteer firedepartment. One thing jumping out at me now, is no one has considered problems new comers might bring.
