Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 8, 2009 Root Admin Posted June 8, 2009 Bill and I are leaving for a top secret mission today. We will arrive in a remote, undisclosed location in SW Alaska tomorrow to check out what possibly could be a good fishing hole. We'll be home Friday. Ta Ta...
Wayne SW/MO Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Well I suppose someone has to do it, good luck. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 9, 2009 Author Root Admin Posted June 9, 2009 Be back Saturday.... my mistake. That puts a hurt on my cleanup efforts on Taney. I'll have someone cover. We will probably forgo the potluck lunch at the shelter though. In Anchorage. Leave for King Salmon in about an hour. Then to points unknown... about 125 south. In a helicoper no less!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 11, 2009 Author Root Admin Posted June 11, 2009 All the talking and work is done. We're waiting on a word from the owner on if and how this will play out. Here's a hint... go read my blog. I posted my thoughts on this venture some time back. Sorry- it really wasn't a secret. Bill and I had an INCREDIBLE helicopter flight from King Salmon 125 miles south to Yantarni Bay and the camp yesterday. Crossing the tundra, lakes and mountain range was .... words can't describe. But coming into view of the ocean was breath taking. I shot video of it. Bill took pics. We'll share them when I get them formated.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 12, 2009 Author Root Admin Posted June 12, 2009 No fishing... we drove to Homer today- put about 500 miles on the rental car. Kenai River was already packed with drift boats and waders. Guess there's a few kings moving in. The day was gorgeous. Homer was nice. Long day. Fly out tomorrow night and back home Saturday.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 12, 2009 Author Root Admin Posted June 12, 2009 We didn't get to land and walk around unfortunately and things were happening so quick Bill didn't get alot of pics taken but I did let the video roll most of the time so after we get home I'll see if I can get some of it online... The following pics were taken last fall. There are more but none are great- they don't show the essence of the place. There's an airstrip that been cut in half by the river but either portion is plenty of runway for a plane plus you can land on the beach. The camp is about a half mile from the ocean.
