Yantarni Camp, Alaska

[Phil Lilley]

Just to update you on what's going on with the camp... I am going to meet with Bill Martin Sunday night and may go with him to the refuge office Monday to take to the refuge manager about getting the permits transferred to me. That's the key to the sale of the camp. If the permits are transferred, I've got the camp. I've read where it may take 45 days or more for the process.

Am also going to visit with Mr Martin about Bill and I heading up to camp in August. We feel if the permits go through and I buy the camp, we need to be at camp for as much of the season as possible for several reasons. First, we need to see how everything runs, how it is setup. Second, we need to see what the fishing is like and take pictures for promo materials and a website.

That's it in a nutshell.

There's an explaination on youtube of what you're seeing... better put one here too.

You can see the airstrip to the right of the river. The river has cut the strip in half over the years but still plenty of room to land planes, we are told. There's also the beach and the ocean itself for landing.

The camp is located at the end of the strip. You can see a circle. Can't really see much else. The camp isn't much to look at anyways... the leaves on the trees aren't out and it's pretty brown.

We get around with 4-wheelers. Up and down the river as well as out to the ocean.
