Wow, that just amazes me! Is that what she drove off of? I have never driven in water or really wet weather...just Texas heat and miserable Michigan winters so have no knowledge wherefore-of I speak...it still seems ridiculous that could have even happened by accident. Have never been anywhere near that close to a water drop off like that.....seems almost criminal for it not to be lit up like a Sunday Christmas tree with fog horns and whatever else. Is that a lawsuit waiting to happen or is that legal to be like that?

Thanks for setting me straight politely!

Yes, that’s the boat launch.

**The road ends in a remote boat landing about a mile away from the main parking area for the park. There is a sign near the ramp saying the pavement ends, but it is partially obscured by branches. There are no homes or businesses in the area, and none of the fishing boats were occupied, Smith said.**

“It’s pitch black — dark as a pocket and there’d be nobody there at that time of night and in that weather,” Smith said.

I happen to use public boat launches every day...up and down the New England coast, putting in kayaks. FWIW, I’m such a worry-wart about safety, like my car rolling into the drink, I park up against a curbing to unload, if there is one, just in case.

This is such a strange, weird occurrence. Heaven rest their souls.
