Saving Suzie's Hole
"You might see otters, mink, deer and beavers."
"All the more reason to be saddened and angry that the gorge has become party-central and abused in the last year, unleashing such a rash of ongoing ill behavior that some families and longtime fans of the wild spot have been scared away."
"There has been intermittent mis-use of the gorge for decades, but that the last year has been the worst."
"'They come in here and raise hell,' adds Henry"
"Southern Regional Police can't provide the almost daily monitoring it would take to catch violators."
"On his tour with me, he used a grabber to pluck and fill four plastic grocery bags with beer and soda cans, plastic water bottles, towels, cigarette packs, a t-shirt and a tampon."
"The spot seems to have become a favorite get-away spot with high school and college students."
"Hikers, dog walkers, anglers, hunters, birdwatchers and those seeking a dose of solitude are those losing out."
"'It's basically selfish people versus unselfish people,' sighs Resh. 'I've heard more than one say they've written it off because of all the problems.'"
"The gorge has always attracted its share of notoriety. In the 1970s, skinny-dipping and streaking were commonplace."
"The chute of whitewater that gushes through narrow boulders, known as "The Washing Machine" or "Suzie's Hole," has seen its share of injuries."
"'People don't consume drinks early in the morning,' says Burkhart. 'It's beautiful here and I think it's a bit of a shame that people who are coming here for perfectly innocent reasons kind of miss out on it because if they're here and if someone else is doing something illegal, it's kind of guilt by association and you're asked to leave.'"
"As we talk, about a dozen teens recently graduated from area high schools begin to arrive. Most are carrying just towels and water bottles. But one man jauntily bounces down the trail hoisting a white Styrofoam cooler."
Getting some meat
"You know if you back in then it might make it easier to pull out."
