More Lapland clave 2003 pictures

Just sent you a note Dave. Of course we'll find a spot for Roger... Lou
said he would sacrifice his bedroom if Roger came, right Lou. g So
far, me, joe, lou, warren, mike makela (?), wolfgang (?), Roger. PJ may
show, but I guess he and wayno will decide their course - neither have
committed. Waldo says he might come for the weekend only... There's
plenty of room for the whole crowd in my opinion...and the more the
merrier. Lou is bringing air mattresses and cots, I think. Roger won't
need a car at Penns. As you know, folks are very good about sharing
rides and he'll have no problem.

Looking forward to meeting an honest to god Swede. Do ya think he can
find similar airfares for us next August? It would be incredible to do
the Sweden clave for a grand...

If I go from Sweden on May 14 and back from Boston on May 24 the price will
be US$ 545 for the trip (+ Umea-Stockholm-Umea).
This would leave May 15 to May 23 free for some fishing. Now then,
accomodations........
Is there anywhere near the clave central where one could stay? Would I need
a rental car?

Anyone?

Wow, $545 is a deal. I can deliver you to the clave on May 15. I am hoping
that there is room in the North Carolina Cabin - Jeff? I am sure Jeff can fit
you in. You shouldn't need a car as the cabin is right on the river, within
walking distance of some very nice fishing water. If there is any driving to
do, there will be more than enough vehicles there to give you a ride.

If the North Carolina Cabin is full, perhaps there is a couch in Tom
Littleton/Handyman Mike's camp (hint, hint), which would put you AT clave
central and in the midst of some very good Penns Creek fishermen. Regardless,
I am sure someone will take you in.

As I have said, I can't stay the week. I must be here for Wed/Thurs of that
week. But, we can figure out how to get you back to Boston later, even if it
means I have to go down on Friday (fish a couple of days) and bring you back
onMay 24.

Hope you can make it, Roger. Lots of folks would like to meet you.

I'll give up my room for Roger if he gives me all the specifics on the 2005
Lapland Clave, brings me a tube of Schlot's mustad, and leaves that vile
tasting aquavite at home.

2005 Lapland clave ? Whoa there.......
2005? Are you serious? Shouldn't I be allowed to survive the 2004 clave
first?

Feeling the weight of decisions to be made ;-)

Jeff, I thank you for your kind offer.
From what you say I can stay in a cabin and will need an air mattress and a
sleeping bag, correct?
Cost?
As far as travelling costs goes, from what I can make of the prices on the
web it seems it is way more expensive to go from the US to Sweden and back
than it is to go in the opposite direction. Can't explain it though, can't
even understand why.

Roger, if you don't want to trade me the mustard for my position on the room
selection list, I will have a cot, air mattress, and a summerweight (40 F)
,goose-down, sleeping bag for you to use.in the cabin.
Air line fares make no sense, except that it's all based a lot on supply and
demand and not cost per mile. I'm thinking about the Lapland Clave for next
year. Transportation costs are a consideration. The big question will be if
my frequent flier miles can get me to a point that has reasonable (cheap) cost
transportation for the rest of the trip.

Schlot's mustad ????
The closest I can get to something like that is the "Slotts mustard" and
that I can bring you without asking for anything in return.

That's the stuff; the everyday houshold variety that tastes great. Sorry my
Swedish is limited to knowing that Karl's Coga means Carl's Woods.

"Karlskoga" and yes Carl's Woods ;-). Anyway consider the mustard to be on
its way.
Tickets have been ordered and as long as nothing goes wrong with myself
and/or my kids I'll be on my way.

(Skog = Woods)

return... g
