Default Lapland clave 2004

Hi all,

So, finally I have decided a destination.

After scrapping several different options I've decided to make this clave a
wilderness clave.
The same river as last year, only 100 kilometers further into the mountains.
I have talked to a local guy who has helped me rent a Saami cabin located in
the area.
The cabin is located 500 meters from the river and has 5 beds, a kitchen and
a sauna.
The cabin will do fine as a meeting place and a place for attendes from far
away to live.
The rest of us will have to live in a tent. We have several extra tents.
We will all be sharing the cost for the cabin as we will be using it for a
meeting place.
The idea is to fish in three waters; River Laisan (brown trout only),
Hurrasjokk creek (brown trout only) and Blassajaure lake (Arctic char and
brown trout).
We're not likely to meet any other people, but in worst case there will
still be more than 60 kilometers of running water and two lakes on the
permit (actually two dozen more trout and char waters if you don't
mind walking).
We will be flying with a helicopter from Adolfstrom village.
If we can get 10 attendes, the sum total for this trip (with food, permit
and gas costs) leaving from Umea in north Sweden will be approx US$350.
You will have to plan for a week since we won't be able to have the
helicopter fly back and forth at will.

A couple of pictures from the area as a teaser:
