All of the name calling and whining about the salt report does nothing to
help. The advance crew that go up early to evaluate the salt are VOLUNTEERS,
they work, they have a business, they need to take the time off to get to the
salt, look over thousands of acres of that flats to try to fine enough  area
to layout the courses, the pit area, the roads necessary to support the meet.

If they find we can pull it off you should thank them, not get pissed because
they wait an additional day to make the call. Remember this event takes around
three weeks to make happen that includes locating, surveying,putting down the
black lines, setting up all of the support equipment, laying miles of wire,
placing 1000s of cones etc. This takes time and people(volunteers) to make it
a reality. Then the meet is run and all of the tear down, cleaning of
equipment and storing of same taking the trailers back to California, cleaning
them and getting ready for a lake meet a few days later.

If it don't happen this year so be it, but don't belittle the volunteers that
make it happen on their own time.
