High Noon in Dodge/DNR City + photo update

End of an Era?

DNR showed up today in full-force with a fleet of patrol and enforcement boats drawn from as far away as Charleston, accompanied by a regiment of State Highway Patrol and local deputies. There was even a BAT wagon parked near the public launch ramp reserved for offenders.

You'll probably learn more about what's going tonight on the FoxCarolina News. But it seems pretty clear that the wild, untamed lake is about to feel its first sting of barbed wire ... and the lawless weekends of rumegades, beer-rustlers, and drunkeradoes riding its waves have come to a sobering halt.

An unnamed marina regular agreed and squinted off into the sunset, "It's been too much for too long, and now there's a new sheriff in town."
