Busted!

For years, I have had a spot that I like to go to for midnight dips of the skinny variety, up at Loch Raven Reservoir. Parking along the main drag of Dulaney Valley Road, the spot was a short blaze through the woods. It was a small cove, completely surrounded by the woods; blocking the view from the trails and the road. It really is a lovely spot; particularly when the Moon is cooperating and rises out over the water.

Two nights ago, Trillian and I drove up to Loch Raven around midnight for a little late night stroll/dip. We parked, and as soon as we both got out of the car, another vehicle approached. Not just an ordinary vehicle though; a police car! Two officers got out and told me to put my hands on the car (in all of my run-ins with the police, that was a first). I told them right off the bat that I had a knife on my belt, which they appreciated. They were actually both pretty cool guys; they told us as long as we didn't have any warrants out, that they would let us go. I expressed my shock to them, since I had been coming there for years without incident. One of the officers informed me that they only recently started enforcing the after-dark no trespassing law. Trillian was a bit shook up, but I actually thought it was one of the more pleasant experiences that I've had with the police. But alas! No more skinny dipping at Loch Raven. Be wary fellow adventurers, and take heed!
