Found this 1979 letter to the editor of the St. Mary’s Beacon from Gerry Sword the Head of Pt. Lookout State Park:
Mr. Sword was responding to an article that ran in a previous edition of the Beacon that implied the Phantoms had stayed at the State Park. Obviously, he felt that putting the blame on Buzzy for hosting the biker dudes was worth pointing out to the general public. (He does mention at the end of his letter that there had not been any confrontations between the bikers and visitors to the Park.) Here is an excerpt from the initial Beacon article that got his attention.

I recall Buzzy telling me how he did get some push back from folks about allowing the bikers to use the property. He said he told the Phantoms that as long as they cleaned the place up when they left he didn’t mind them using it. (That they also came into the Store and made a couple of purchases while they were camping out there also factored into his decision to allow them access to the property.)
Note that the Scotland/Scotland Beach property cited is now the Confederate Memorial. My Mom, who got the property when she and Buzzy divorced, sold it to the Sons of the Confederacy in 2003. Here are some photos taken the day the property was transferred from Mom to them.
