No, Nevada, I think, is as well.
Oh, Nevada, that's right.
The one proposal that they initially came up with, though, kind of one of the key early things was they promised the lower basin, all right, you're going to get some extra water here because you've already got these projects.
You're kind of grandfathered in because you've got these projects and developments underway.
So you're going to get some extra water.
And nobody really liked it.
The lower basin didn't even like this idea to begin with.
Yeah, he held his nose and voted yes.
I mean, they all signed on, but like you said, no one really thought it was super fair.
So the compact, like I said, divided things up into the upper and the lower basin.
And that divide actually has a place, like a physical place, which is Lee Ferry, L-E-E-F-E-R-R-Y.
Not Lee Scratch Perry.
That is at the border where the river passes from the upper watershed to the lower watershed.
And that is where this really unique place, quite frankly, where all the tributaries upstream come together in this one beautiful single stream before splitting back up again to other branches on the other side.
So they looked at that and said, hey, Lee Ferry looks like probably a pretty good spot to divide this.
