Class B First-hand BFRO #27399

Two boaters experience possible intimidation behavior outside Madisonville

August 2000 around 6:30 or 7pm Madisonville, Hopkins County, Kentucky 2 witnesses

Account

Two companions paddled a small boat up a remote swampy creek in the late afternoon. A large rock was thrown from the wooded bank and splashed into the creek ahead of them, after which one of them fired warning shots and they turned back. As they paddled back after dark, they heard heavy footsteps in the woods that stopped when they stopped paddling and resumed when they paddled, continuing until they reached the road.
