Start of rant...

I've been launching out of Buck for the last 15 years or more. There used to be 1 no parking sign where the parking spots stopped and the turn around area started. A couple of years ago they added a some new signs and move them further down to make sure nobody would park down by the dumpers and restrooms. Ever since people have gradually started to park further into the turnaround.

It was really bad this weekend. The entire gravel overflow lot was empty and there were about 10 parking spots open on the paved lot. Yet everyone wanted to park in the turnaround area. You couldn't even turn around. I had to back my trailer into the grass next to the restrooms to turn around.

If both lots were totally full I could see were someone might want to squeeze in an extra spot. But this is happening when it's not that busy.

I am not sure if they are just that lazy or stupid.

End of Rant...

A flat tire might be in order.

Douche move followed by douche move makes two douche moves....j/s.

They are parking in the area that will be in the afternoon shade. It is very annoying when you can't use the turn around! They do it in the gravel lot too when it is really busy, park along the back where they will be in the afternoon shade behind people who are pulled in correctly. Took me a while to work my trailer out last time I was up there, somebody parked perpendicular and behind me making what amounted to a large T out of their rig and mine in the gravel lot. Many people do not have manors or give a [censored] about anybody but themselves.

The Irish have a ritual they do to people that park in poor taste. They don't flatten your tires, but they let enough air out of the tires that the point is made for those that have enough brain power to heed the warning.

Just let go huh ? You handle your way, leave'em a nice love note.

Hopefully the ranger from Roberts will see the post and help with issuing some tickets. I think he goes by Parkcop.

It probably did not bother them at all. But it sure got you wrapped around the axle. Take a deep breath, relax and go fishing.

Take a floor jack and completely jackknife the trailers so its a pain to get them straightened and backed out.

I just might do that...Could a couple of guys lift and move a trailer like that?

I sent him a PM about it asking to put another "No Parking" sign to help. Not sure how often he gets on TFF. I called the park office but you have to put in a formal complaint; fill out a form, have it notarized and so forth. I couldn't reach anyone from the that park police directly to make a request.

This wkend I'll make a point to go by the main entrance and mention it to them.

I like your idea better than mine, lol.

This would be hilarious!!! Definitely needs to be done to these jackhole's!!

When I used that ramp always parked in the grass with the easiest shot of getting out to load the boat. I never used the paved or gravel area.

The only time I used the paved area was in late fall or early winter when there might be 6 to 7 people using the ramp.

During the Legend tourney on Fork, someone parked their truck and trailer in the handicapped parking 2 days in a row, and no handicapped tag visible. On the second day, they came back to find a nice note from the State.

Wow move peoples trailers..or flatten tires or hey better yet let some air out of tires then on way home couple blow outs and hit some innocent family ....really some people really need think about what there saying

If I move a trailer with a jack and person has a medical emergency and can't leave am I responsible if they or someone with them should die....I just don't understand

Hard call here, but
If a park ranger caught every A hole who did this, many of you would be on here complaining about how bad the park was, and how they just want revenue. I personally wish they would ticket the [censored] outta people everywhere.
Lewisville had a tournament at towerbay yesterday and the lot filled up. There were 2 trucks with no trailers in the lot. I imagine they were tourney folks, because I never see it on other weekends. The rules don't apply to some people
I don't want them to die, but I hope they pay

You go vandalizing some ones property it makes you a criminal and the idiot that abuses the parking situation is still just an idiot.

Silly, just silly.

From what I am hearing they need the Wardens to start enforcing the state bridge law on the RR bridge up there too... good buddy of mine was down there, said some kayakers were washed up on the rip rap from idiots running through the bridge to the ramp on pad. On a busy day I couldn't imagine doing that, its a narrow opening with limited visibility. How bout shutting down before you get to the trees with the reflector just prior to the bridge, having some common regard for your fellow man, and idling past the people fishing the bridge and rip rap. As ignorant as the suggestions to vandalize are, folks running that bridge on a busy day when you know people are everywhere by far surpasses that.

Please don't park here, it makes it hard to use the boat ramp.

Have a nice day.

Sounds good when you type it? But, the only people that would respond to a message like that likely are the same people that park correctly in the first place.

You gotta be stupid with stupid people.

Not Ray Bob but at Lavon Sunday evening the head of the ramp where you need to turn and pull up to get straight and back down was full of cars, no trailers just people admiring the view. And at the bottom of the ramp kids everywhere swimming and playing like it was a swim beach. I figure it's their world and I am just living in it.

You said it Steez, flatten a tire might be over reacting but those who think it's silly don't comprehend what the OP had to put up with on a hot day after a hard days fishing and these idiots who do it could care less. They're the same ones who use handicap spaces and take up 2 spaces to make sure no one dings their doors. Inconsiderate aholes to be sure. Forest said it best.

Stupid is as stupid does.

And this is the fisherman's ramp, IDB and Jordan get real stupid!
