2004 Western Conclave

I spent a summer in the town of Absoroke in 1939 and went with my uncle into
the Absoroka Mountains where he core drilled for ore samples. It was near a
ranch called Moat's (sp) and I remember there was a dude ranch near by. A
small river called the Stillwater ran through the area. Beautiful country.

i thought you were thinking absaroka area for 2004? anyway, i'll be
looking for a cabin or room with essentials (hot water, shower, bed,
etc.) if you get a chance, take a look at this place on cliff lake -

Warren has a pretty big tent, maybe he'd rent you a room.

Keep up with the advertising and I might have to buy a bigger one to
accommodate everyone..... g

Maybe for 2005. g Actually, Lou and I talked about where to have the clave
while he was here this summer. Having it in this area will open up everything
from the Henry's Fork to the Park to the Madison. We can even go fish that
nice little stream we fished for our last day of the HF Clave again. Unless we
get decent amounts of snow this winter, water levels will probably be another
issue next summer so I had to kind of hedge my bet.

if i can get at least 3 others, the $295 per night 4 bedroom cabins
would work. it doesn't have rv sites (that's good, imo), and seems to be
in a good location. if you find other places, let me know.

Hold up on any reservations. I will be making a scouting run over there
probably tomorrow if I can talk my friend into a float trip. I'll try to swing
over to this other place to give it a look. You also might want to consider
The Slide Inn which would be much closer to Clave Central. They don't have any
four room cabins, but they have plenty of smaller cabins and a "duplex" cabin.

hope all is well with you and your daughter. what kind of work are you
getting?

The youngin' is doing well and I'll have her next weekend. A friend referred
me to a guy who does spray insulation work and is in desperate need of good
help. I hear he pays well and if I play my cards right could be running a crew
instead of working on a crew in a very short time. The other job is more
construction work so I will check both out and take the best. Just need
something to last me until I get back into school for that training program.

Warren, is there any EFFEN way to get these here Western Claves further away
from me than you already have and still be in the Western States? I swear by
each and every Tiny Turgid Nipple of the Nine Naughty Nieces of
Nebbahchenezzur that you must plot these damn things to be at the absolute
extreme distance for your humble correspondent! I can only hope that there
aren't any more "Rustic Cabins" for rent in the area. Them damn Montana
Double Buck-Toothed Night-Gnawing Rats bout done me in at Rock Crick.

Hey, I try my best. ;-)

Uh-oh!

Be afraid.....very afraid.

Be sure to get a census on the rodentia population.

Well, you know how them critters like nuts.....

Yeah, you and that damn elk go bugle each other. Happy Hunting.

8 more days until the season opener. :-( It's fun scouting them out though.

It's on the calendar. I am going to try to make it this year. Right now, I
see no obstacles, and I am having a hard time envisioning any that will
interfere. I will bring a small pontoon boat, float tubes if needed, and
they do sell Sleeman's in Alberta now. Although, personally, I think it is
okay but much prefer a Big Rock or Rickard's Red. How much beer can you
bring across the border?

Glad to hear it. I'm not sure on how much beer you can bring across the
border. We'll have to make sure RW and Danl brew up a few kegs again this year
to help out. ;-)

bourbon and scotch......
