    Major gripe!

    Last year I watched the state build a nice new ramp on indian creek on cumberland. Its better than the new one at dale.Problem? finding it. Seems the locals dont want company, they remove the access signs, and even the road signs leading to it.Real sportsmen and good nieghbors there.makes me wonder if when I do find it, what will happen to my truck and trailer?

    Wouldn't park at that one if I was you. If you do I suggest daylight hours only. The out of the way ramps on Cumberland are just not safe anymore at all, it's really sad. Too many Meth heads down there needing money, really sad.

    I parked at waitsboro two years age and they got my cat converters. They didnt bother anything else. I will put in at alligator 2 from now on even though the ramp isn't that great.

    I can't tell you how many of these I've heard about over the last several years. This is why I use Halcombs or Pumpkin Creek 90% of the time. I've have even heard of some things happening at Pumkin creek ramp sometimes to. But there is a Park Ranger patrolling that one most of the time now. I've talked to him quite a few times, heck of a nice guy, packs a hog leg to.

    I was at Lilly Creek ramp one night and was killing time before I was to meet APB to catch some linesides at night. It was probably after 1 o'clock and I was to meet him at Jamestown. I wanted to see the new ramp the Corp built in Lilly as a again I was early and that night we were fishing out of Andrew's boat. I park my truck and walk down to the bottom of the ramp and was looking around and now there is a good distance between me and my truck. A boat came by and stopped there in front of the ramp close, a couple of fellas talking and casted a few times then took off. Well somebody hiding in the woods must have thought they picked me up because about as soon as that boat got out of sight and I turned to walk back up the hill to go back to my truck I see a little pin light come easing out of the wood line and towards my truck. I think Huh, what's that all about, so I keep walking and about the time I'm about 75 to 100 feet away that light is right beside my truck shineing on it and in it the best I could tell. I yell.... Hey What Do you Need There.... the little light goes off and I can't here or see a thing, I begin to walk faster towards the truck but being very cautious as I head that way. When I get to my truck I see or here nothing not a peep. I can feel whomever it was has now eased back in the woods and is just laying low. I got the heck out of there as this was a little bit scary and I had no weapon with me. I was the only vehicle in that area that night at that time and I won't be back, it was down right eerry, shook me up a little. Since then I know of at least three or four different instances where people have had stuff stolen and or vandalized there.

    If you leave a case of mountain dew by your car, they won't mess with it.

    Pretty amusing Col.

    Hey Mark, meth tweekers are doing the stealing. Sucking down a few Dews'll give them the buzz they crave and they won't steal your stuff.

    I was just wondering last night about the Waitsboro ramp and if that sort of stuff goes on there...I haven't been to it in awhile but I thought it got a bit of traffic and public visiting it often enough to deter the scum bags...I guess not huh? Sure does bite!
