I lost track while traveling. What's the latest on showing our
Scandahoovian friends the Big Sky? Any dates (even rough ones)
mentioned yet?

As I recall last state of play was Euros taking inventory as to who
could or not for how long, . . . and possible itineraries focusing on
N. Rockies, and North. Your post should flush em out.

Enen if the trans-alantic folks are not coming a western clave with a
hike in seems like a good plan--I think Ken was to get some costs --
Ken?

There didn't seem to be much interest in the hike in. Last I
heard Jaarmo wanted to rent an RV and move around rather than
spend much time in any one spot.

At any rate the cost is $125 a head for a drop camp.

I'm still trying to get feedback from a couple of friends that were
interested in joining me.
I will talk to them again.

Sorry for not replying earlier, but a few RL issues intervened (swine
flu, kitchen renovation).

As a group of travelling fishermen we are on hold, waiting for a
confirmation on whether or not my friend is able to fertilize his wife
before February. I think that my friends will succeed in his endeavour -
given his proven track record - which means that the potential Finnish
party would shrink to size 1.

Therefore I have decided to decide ASAP whether I will come there on my
own (with our Swedish neighbours, of course). I had actually decided to
make this decision a few weeks ago, but like I wrote above, natural
forces swung me around for a while. The decision to go solo frees me
from the earlier time constraints: I am able to take the trip any time
between, say, 30.6.-5.8. This also rules out the RV option, unless the
Swedes would like to take part in renting a motorhome.

In any case I *will* make a long road trip next summer. If I am going on
my own, the competing options are
1. the Western clave
2. northern Sweden / Norway, with focus on I. small streams and II. sea
trout
3. SE British Columbia / Alberta

Option #2 has been on my mind for a long time. I must also say that I
have read and *very* positive things about option #3.

I will post my final decision on this by 20.12. If you are going to have
the clave anyway, my decision deadline will not slow you down: since my
timetable is flexible, you can just decide on the dates and the
location, and by 20.12. I will tell you whether or not I will join.

Now it is time to do some serious Christmas shopping.

Hm.......

Well, o.k., I confess that I too live somewhere or other and wouldn't
mind too much being forced to fish with someone or other in some place
or other at one time or another if I wasn't doing something or other
at that or another time in that or some other place, with or without
someone else or other.....or not.

giles
who is looking forward to it with something or other approaching much
less than absolute loathing......or maybe not.

doubt there is a formal gathering...stuff out west now seems more like a
pick-up basketball game. i'll be in montana july 9-18 (9.7. - 18.7.
g), staying in cabin 3 at the slide inn, which is west of hebgen and
quake lakes, on the madison...about 30 miles west of west yellowstone,
near raynolds bridge. if you find yourself in the area, stop in.

Yesterday I watched a BBC documentary about Yellowstone. It was part 1/3
and only considered wintertime, but it still reminded me that the park
and its wildlife are astonishing.

With images of the area fresh in mind I am sad to say that at this point
I will *not* commit to "Western clave 2010." While the situation might
change later - if we as a group decide to fish some remote place
together - I doubt that it will happen. Assuming that I will take this
road trip on my own, I have decided to maximize fishing time, limit
costs and stay in a relatively familiar and safe area. In practice this
means flying to Sweden, renting a car for a couple of weeks, fishing for
grayling, trout and charr in northern Sweden and Norway, and sleeping in
my comfortable tent.

Thanks to all who tried to make the trip happen. The good news is that
with next summer's trip cancelled, the guys are still saving money every
month for "the big trip". Maybe it will take place in 2011.

Merry Christmas and a Fishy (?) New Year!

That's really gotta suck big-time Jarmo!

If I had to fly to Sweden, rent a car for a couple of weeks, fish for
grayling, trout and charr in northern Sweden and Norway, and then be forced
to sleep in a comfortable tent, I'd be absolutely devastated! VBSEG :~^ )

I can only dream of your "in practice" situation. I hope ya have a great
time, when ya get to go of course. Take and post lots-o-pictures for the
rest of us financially challenged folk--we must live our lives vicariously
thru the experiences that folk like yourself live!

Best to ya,
Op

Agreed, it does not look too bad. And with the rest of the group back at
home, more opportunities to mull over midlife crisis issues. And yes,
after the trip I will post a TR with lots of pictures.
