Went fishing today to a small reservoir for gills & bass. The place is usually deserted on weekedays, but today one end was occupied by a couple of campers with tents, etc. When I opened the truck door I was greated by the sounds of a radio turned up loud enough to be heard half a mile away. I went to the far end of the lake, but that didn't help too much. Then the guy started yelling at his kids. I quess he either didn't care or didn't realize how far voices carry over water, but what he said would have made any old sailor blush. He then took out a chainsaw and proceeded to wack up a couple of trees for firewood (I guess) even though open fires are currently prohibited. To top it off they then decided to open up a pistol/rifle range on their end of the lake despite signs saying no shooting.

This lake is on private property and I would not be surprised to see it posted on my next visit.

Some folks don't have the brains the good Lord gave a peanut and I believe I ran into one of them.

I know this won't help, but I feel better.
