  Mark, they would have to have started ten years ago doing what we do
to be able to do this in every respect - it is too late. Their best bet
is to take a few more rides, run their mapper, and hope they do not kill
or cripple anyone, and then fold it . The fist good rain will knock them
out of the game anyway when it is cold, and then the basin is miserable
and nobody will show up to help them, and it will die out anyway.

  The best I ever saw that place as in 93 after a year of drought, and
it rained once in January and I could not even get my bottles out until
May. They have about two weeks before either the weather or the phsyical
beating takes its toll. In my opinion, these guys are embarrassing -
three weeks and four dives, none of which has made it to where we drop
our first open circuit stage bottle when we are diving with new guys.
When I am diving with one of the regulars, the first drop is farther
than they went in the 87 project.
