Bonne Terre Mine

[tbrown]

No, but I have to admit the thought of diving in the missle silo is awful interesting and I'm sure would be a good t-shirt to add to the collection . Just not sure if it would warrent a road trip. I have a brother-in-law in Utah and I thought about visisting him and checking out Sea-base. He told me to come on out, but leave my gear at home as the locals call it Pea-base, and give it a rating of, well unflatering is the PG rating. Still may do that anyway, as it goes against my grain to travel anywhere without my gear. And lets face it, a bad day diving beats a good day watching TV with relatives.

I'm not saying, on Bonne Terre, that it is not worth doing (at least once). It's just this time of year, there are alot of other options much closer to home and much less expensive. Save it for Jan. or Feb. when there is no where else to dive, and 62 looks like a Caribean getaway. Even then, if you have seen the video (I think I know which one you are referring to), you have seen the best at Bonne Terre, and at least in my case, the actual bottom time was not like the video. But then again, when you are staring at nothing but snow, with no end in sight, it beats the heck out of not diving at all.
