Brina, I believe it was the class of "76" that started using the reservoir for parties. I was in the class of "77" and we also used the reservoir for skip days etc. My brother's class of "78" also had parties there, and apparently the tradition continued for years to come.....go "76'ers" The reservoir is located off of Old Stage Rd. Roger Prescott (class of "76") along with Rick Sharp spear-headed a group to save the reservoir from development. The town had sold it to a developer, who had big plans to build luxury homes around the reservoir. Luckily they ran into some problems with that plan, the main one being ledge, too expensive to blast. So they sold it back to the town for a profit. Now it's a family-friendly place, which it really wasn't back in the 70's......too many big parties, skinny-dipping, drug-use, drunkeness,....too much fun for regular folks.

Thanks, Joe, for the explanation. I remember going to a place we called "the Gorge" for some similar partying, but that place scared me! The guys would jump off rocks down into the water and freak us out. Wonder where that was! You see, I didn't drive back then and was a passenger, so I really didn't get a good sense of all the places we visited, and many of those days were rather idyllically foggy, if you catch my drift.

The Reservoir sounds like a pretty place! The woman I met on the plane did tell me that it required a pass to get in these days, so it's making sense now.
