Walter & Group....
We hope to see as many of our Study Group as possible at the FFF International Conclave at Whitefish lake, Mt. in july.
Dates: Monday, July 21 through Sunday, July 27
I'll be there, for sure ! (I've offered to give two workshops along with Jim Valle. One on, "Difficult Casts To Difficult Places" and the other on, "Casting in High Winds".) I'll be staying at the Edelweiss.
For you MCCI candidates, much of the material presented will be right on target for your preparations.
I suspect that there will also be an MCCI prep. course, too. Look for it when the final schedule comes out.
I've been told that the closest place in to which to fly, is the Glacier National Park Airport. Connecting flights are available from Minneapolis (Northwest ) and from Salt Lake City (Delta/Skywest). Delta is offering direct flights from Atlanta.
Below is information from Jessica Atherton from the FFF office:-
Subject: RE:
rooms
Hi
Gordy,
We have lodging
reserved with Whitefish Mountain Resort which is 8 miles away. Our $55.00
rooms have limited availability due to other bookings, but might be worth
looking into, and there are numerous other lodging options available there for
example if you plan to travel with friends there are condos available so when
splitting the cost of the room it is very reasonable. The reservations
number is 1-877-754-3474, and tell them it is for Conclave.
Everything except hibernation house has
availability throughout the conclave
Please stress to attendees that
all rooms are first come first
served.
The number of rooms
available were given to me last week so may have changed to
date.
Here is the link to all properties: http://www.bigmtn.com/?a=lodging/bmrl_main

properties below.
