You guys.......

There's one more issue here. The cabin, as most of the Saami cabins in the
mountain area, is not normally available to rent.
It took quite a lot of persuasion and no small amount of work in locating
the owners and getting them to agree to rent it to me. Fred was mighty
surprised at the fact that I did get to rent it.
The Swedish government does not allow anyone but the original inhabitants
of
this area, the Saami, to build anything within the area.
This means that cabins like this one is normally impossible to get a hold
of.
Also, while the last week in July would mean even brighter summer nights,
the fishing is normally better in August. As you could see last year the
fishing got better and better during our stay. That high up in the
mountain
it isn't normally as warm water as what you experienced last year and as
such that won't affect fishing all that much.
If possible, try to stick to these dates. Although I myself will probably
be
staying longer in order to fish with the late arriving Vaughan.
We have to arrange for the dates when you want to be picked up by the
helicopter. It will possibly take us three and three or four and four
depending on how many we will be. So if three of us want to get home a day
or two early we have to tell the pilot about this before flying out. The
mobile phone coverage is under all criticism in this area, but once in a
while you can climb a mountain and send an SMS message.


The wilderness version of the VodaCom Rock, eh?

OK, Dad, as I originally said, I'm fine with the dates as they stand. For
me, it doesn't work out at all to get done too soon and then have to sit
around for a week before coming to Congo. If Jarmo's friends are flexible
about dates and participants, and want to make their Salmon trip the last
week in July, I'd be up for doing that on week one and then coming to the
Lapland Clave. Of course, this might be a 'club' thing, and not open to
general roustabouts. Otherwise, I'll just fly in to Stockholm (or Umea) and
join the clave. Or even drive up with Osmo or Mike.

Also, if it turns out that I don't have to be back here until August 16 (a
distinct possibility), I'll stick around to fish with Vaughan, too. It would
make the return flight more economical, since there'd be 3 or 4 of us
instead, and I love being in that part of the world. :-)
