Apparently will not be running this year. That's too bad as I was hoping to head down there this year. My first inclination is that the spiraling insurance cost is what did them in. Anyone know for sure? |

I revert to my original thought -- insurance costs probably were the death knell. The cost of operating the RDC's cannot add up to much unless their passenger count really dropped off the charts. |
