Yeah, my friends did not make it all the way to the parking lot for Route 3. They parked along the road and found their back window bashed in. Mike Castro was seen driving away on a motorcycle, but there are no other witnesses or suspects. Supposedly Mike heard gunshots in the area and was out investigating.
Dorothy, this is not an isolated event. Crime like this has not only happened to us at Deep Creek, but another regular (I think it's Rick) had his tire slashed. There are numerous reports of vandalism down by the dam, too. Bowen is a safe place to park your car, but the whole area in my mind is very questionable. It's one thing to have vandalism, but it's another thing to recognize that the area is filled with people who have no qualms about committing crimes like that against innocent people. That's what I find disturbing. I'm sure you'll never want to return to Deep Creek, and I'm sorry that this happened to you. Just remember, the place is beautiful and will always stay with you, even if the current crop of people who inhabit the area make it impossible to visit.
