it was sad the first time I heard of it. I was hoping the same thing but I have been out at all the parks I did see how a sober person could not see the ramps. cedar break is the only ramp that the road follows all the way to the water but it is still well signed. I believe that if he would have been at one of the other parks he would have just drove into woods as the other parks you have to turn right to go down the ramp. verys sad what alochol can do.

I'm surprised they are only reporting this now. One of my co-workers used to work on this guy's sales team. She said he was a wonderful guy and thought this was shockingly out of character for him.

A very sad story indeed. It's amazing how people can differ between their public persona -- and how they are at home in private.
