X in cow

[Shaun]

Sunday morning, Chuck and I dove upstream cow and saw an "X" in the same clay bank . I told Wayne and told Ron at the Dive outpost. This must stop. I don't know how were gonna do it, but it needs to stop!

How big and deep was the X?

[Shaun]

Looked to be around 3" or so and maybe 1/4 deep. Bad enough.

I noticed over the last couple trips that parts of the repair could be seen from some angles as the softer clay was washing out a bit faster than the original clay.

Did you see an actual X freshly carved or did you see something else that may have been an artifact of the original repair to the DIC not holding up? Ie. were the margins raised as would occur if someone carved it in or were they well rounded as would be the case if softer clay were washing out?

If it is the former it would seriously piss me off and we'd want to start checking with Kathy to see who has been there recently and who may be responsible. My understanding is that things have been slow the last couple months or so, so the list of suspects would be comparatively short.

Freshly X'ed. No question about it.

Probably some OW sidemount diver !!!!!! Seriously, this really sucks!!!!

great...

We have a date when it was first noted, can we find some folks who have bene there recently and did not see the X? If so we can narrow the window when it occurred and use the sign in information to try to identify possible suspects who dove Cow in between.

Assuming they signed in?

Buddy and I dove upstream Cow on 08/20/2010, and did not notice a prominent "X" in the clay bank. However, the last time we dove Cow, the clay bank was still in it's somewhat undisturbed condition (2002?).
