I leave a minimum of $2,000 of my hard earned dollars behind when making my multiple trips per year. I'm sure guys like Dan Wright and Jon Taylor leave a lot more in the local economy when they visit for a month at a time or more. now on a per dive or per site basis it washes out a bit but for us yankees it's much higher than $45.
