Regarding the "caretaker" ... I had a run in with him the first time I went to the ponds. I guess I was going faster than he liked (I was going about 15 mph) and he jumped my sh#t in the first parking lot!!! Said that the speed limit was 10 mph on Marion County back roads. I said sorry that I didn't know, because I had never been there before. He's a grumpy old man so I didn't really get in his face about it. Him and his wife live there on-site. She just stood there looking embarassed. I just went about my business, but he kept yapping about turning me in to Marion County Sheriffs and all that. Finally he left and drove back to his camper. It was a little weird. He was awfully angry over such a small thing. Maybe other people speed down the road or something. I've seen him everytime I've gone. He is always out doing something, but I agree with the previous posters. It's a pretty dirty place for having on-site caretakers or maintenance people.
