I have located a cabin that is possible to rent. This cabin is situated
high, high up River Laisan.
A heli flight would be necessary, and the cabin will only take 5 of us,
the
rest are going to have to use tents.
The good part about this is that we would have access to a kitchen with
gas
stove, running water from a small creek to wash in and a sauna.
The price would end up at something like US$300 per person depending on
the
number of attendees.

I'm also working on locating and negotiating with the owners of an even
nicer cabin (12 beds).
Anyway, since it is not legal to build cabins that high up in the
mountains
anymore (has not been so for more than 60 years, unless you are of Saami
origin and then with strong restrictions) the only ones to try for are the
ones already existing. I know of three such cabins in an area of about 500
square kilometers, and one of those is not for rent.

Still working on other options too, but feeling that I need to reach a
decision.



I like the direction this is taking: remote fly-in, a cabin with stove, etc.
and tent and sleeping space. This works well for kitchen uses, rain etc. We
could have a nightly contest for the cabin beds: the biggest fish, the most
fish, etc. :-)

One suggestion about the date: the best timeframe for me would be to begin
during the first week in August: I know we were talking having it a week
earlier, but my summer class will get done on July 18, and then Lauren and I
will be in Croatia until August 2 (thats when she needs to go back to Congo.
I don't need to be back until August 13). So I will be free from August 2
until August 10/11 or so.

If we have it in the last week of July, I almost certainly won't be able to
come, as that means one week in Croatia, then a week at the clave, then she
will be going back to Congo and I'll have 2 more weeks with no place to be.
Even for a low maintenance woman, that won't go over well...
