My husband was not too keen on me meeting up with you lovely folks to search. But weather is about to hit us today/tomorrow and it’s killing me to not go do so. I did look at google street view in the fountain ditch area. All is fenced off, except for a small portion where the ditch actually is. No trespassing signs are posted all along this fence and I don’t think we can access the ditch without permission from property owners.
edited to add that I need to go back and see if the drone footage was in this area or not.
I was up late looking through this area too. (On maps and satellite views, not irl! I'm in MN.) I noticed the fencing too. Imo, where Fountain Ditch meets Peaceful Valley Road is highly unlikely. Too many homes around with a view. The heavily wooded area to the west of that might be blocked by a fence, so I'm not sure a vehicle could pull in there. (@Feistyomi )
Where Fountain Ditch meets Squirrel Creek Road is more likely. There's much more open area with no homes (at the time of the pics I was looking at). There are 3 bodies of water along the ditch here, probably fairly shallow. Interestingly, one of these practically touches the road.
The water was probably frozen in January. And the fences along the road.... I just don't know if LS could have gotten our boy over the fences and along the ditch easily.
In perusing maps, I have noticed a few gravel pits. Those might be worth looking into. Although LS mentioned "ditch" specifically.
All MOO.I
