Ed, your info is as legit as it gets considering that you're our forward observer. I think the comment about official info coming from D3 is in regards to whether or not we're going to have a meet, not what condition the lake bed is in. Stick with it man and keep the info coming. We all really appreciate it.
Many many many years ago they ran a meet from the east end heading west. I wasn't there (don't think I was born yet) but I have photos of it. I guess if you really want to have a meet you make do.
