Lazy and deadbeat? Nobody owes you anything and after all, this is a hobby for 99.9% of the people on this board. You seemed nice when we talked, and I'm hoping maybe you're being funny with us. Still, most people don't travel awful far due to expenses and time. I think what you need is a partner. If I remember right, there was something worth finding at stake, but ownership issues prevent any share of the spoils? If you want somebody to share expenses, you have to expect they'll be interested in sharing a return. I'm unashamedly a greedy treasure hunter in that I want to see a return. I'm a generous treasure hunter in that I feel a treasure isn't any fun if it can't be shared. Nor is the quest enjoyable alone.
Having said all that, El Paso is too far for me to go this time of year. If I'm lucky and can save enough money for winter, I'll have time for adventures. However, which adventures will still be ruled by potential return, how much fun the quest will be, and even how many/who might go with me. The field of potential players is super small!
It's frustrating trying to find a person who thinks the same as you do-but don't let it get to you! Keep plugging away.
