Princeton, Texas
Clear Lake Park
Weather Condition; High 83 Low 62, Partly Sunny
Things here have been kinda laid back until last night. It was about
11:45 P.M when Dawn and I both woke up to the sound of a vehicle speeding past
our fiver. There is a circle drive in front of our fiver that is used for a turnaround
for vehicles that decide not to enter the park. We’re use to the occasional
vehicle driving through at night. People do get lost!
This is the circle drive
Last night the vehicle drove around the circle several times kind of
fast. We were watching out the window when the vehicle finally stopped in front
of our fiver. A woman stepped out of the SUV. She walked past our fiver and
went to the fiver behind us. That fiver belongs to our partner gate attendants.
She knocked on the door. The sleepy gate attendant opened the door slightly. We
couldn’t hear the conversation but it didn’t last long.
She soon returned to her SUV and sped off to the exit side of the gate
house. Dawn and I watched as the woman drove past the DANGER – Tire Damage Sign
and put the pedal to the metal. She drove right over the tire spikes going the
wrong way. All four tires blew. She drove half way to the boat ramp before
coming to a complete stop.
This is the warning Sign which is by the way, Very Bright at night!
Dawn and I just looked at each other in shock! What on earth is going
on?!
We watched out the window waiting to see if she would walk back to the
entrance of the park. About forty-five minutes later a deputy drove through the
circle drive very slowly. We turned on the porch light and the deputy stopped
in front of our fiver.
I went out to meet him and see what was going on. He told me the
department had received a call from a woman saying she was lost and that she
had driven over something that had flattened her tires. The deputy said they
knew exactly where she was. He asked if we saw anything. I told him what we saw
and told him she was in the park near the boat ramp.
He asked me to unlock the gate and to keep it open so
the tow truck could also get in.
I unlocked the gate and the deputy drove in. It was
approximately thirty minutes later when the tow truck arrived.
Thirty minutes later the tow truck left the park with
the SUV. The deputy stopped to help me lock the gate and to tell me that the
woman was very lost and very upset. He said he believed she might have been
drinking earlier in the evening. YOU THINK!!!!
Needless to say, it was 2:30 A.M before Dawn and I got
back into bed. We got up at 5:30 A.M this morning and already had a line of
fishermen waiting for us at the gate house!
Like I said before, Never a Dull Moment Here!!!!
