I figured 70k-100k (35k-50k per person) was fair for maintaining them. If that's not the case, then it's more expensive that I want to deal with, when you factor in fuel. I'd like to get the details and see. But first, I don't want to go it alone, so I'm seeking someone in the area who wants to share.
