Its now official...I drive to Forks on Friday to pick up the keys to our new residence in Sappho!! Sadly, its only a rental but the option exists for us to buy down the road....

Did I mention my back yard is the Sol Duc?

Did I mention the hatchery is across the street?

10.5 acres

two truck and one car heated garage w/ heated shop

I have some extra rooms in the house too so I'll be looking into the legalities involved with subletting rooms, either to tenants or to fishermen.

All three or four of you on this board that I consider my friends now have a place to stay WHENEVER you come over....how cool is that.

Second happiest day of my life!!!

Who wants a kiss?

YAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

H20,
I always figured you as a Beaver man... What's up with Sappho?

You are going to have to change your Homeport from Pugetropolis to Fishy-tropolis!

I was in Beaver last week and got to thinking to myself...you know I really don't see all that much in the way of beavers around here, I wonder how it got its name?

I'm so stoked right now I'd kiss Grandpa! Hell...I'd even kiss unicycle man.

Ewww!
Bet You could charge addmission to see that!

H20

come a little closer

Grandpa ain't kissin no Sappho Man....

Whaddaya gonna grow on that 10.5 acres? Hemp I suppose.

Anyway I'm glad to hear that you are happy..sounds like a great place to live. Do they have internet in Sappho? If so I'm sure you will keep us up to speed on world events and an occasional fishing story. Good luck!

I wanna sublet that spare room ASAP. Will guests get to sample your goods from the "garden"?

Did I ever mention how cool your mohawk looked?

Did I ever mention how bad it looked?




Come a little closer so I can hear your breath

The whackyhawk is dead.

Long live 'the moptop'!!

You are one good looking, stylish, funny guy, who I am sure gets all the chicks.

If I share my beer, can I park there too?

Hey, I hear grandpa aint so bad 'til he slips ya the tongue! Read it on a bathroom wall somewhere.

By the way, can I be your friend? I'll even brew beer for your house warming.

Geeeeeeeeeeez, harley.........what are you tryin' to do to us??

Now I've got to come up with SOMETHING to get that visual out of my head.

stlhdh20, congratulations My second choice of places I would like to live, the first being S.E Alaska I have been working on my wife for the past 15 years trying to get her to move to either one looks like I will be trying for another 15 years she's as stubborn as I am. Enjoy yourself I know I would.

Glad you made it out that way.

Sapho is better than beaver, I lived in Beaver the first year or so I was out there. Beaver is somewhat of a hole if ya ask me.

What ya plan on doin for work?

Im sure I will see ya out that way one of these days.

A word of advice is to be careful with who you have contact with out there. Forks is the major hub on the North Coast for drug running from the south as well as one of the largest importers of drugs from BC comming in from the ocean ports in the area. One of the largest Meth Lab dump sites ever found in the PNW was found out there very recently. Be careful who you befriend.

congrats on your new place.

Thanks for the heads up Rich...I'd say I'm a fair judge of character, I shouldn't have any problems in that respect

As far as what I am going to do for work goes...

My official status right now is 'retired'. I don't think I'm ready to announce my plans just yet...also not sure if that's such a good idea, and NO, not because I would be doing something illegal.

I will be fishing an awful damn lot this Winter/Spring though, that I can guarantee you....

Retired.........

Sol Duc in the back yard..........

Dan S. <-------------- green with envy

I was in Beaver just this last weekend. I'll be going back soon.

And I thought the town of Forks was in shock when I moved in ...

Just wait ...

i figure with my rep around here posting pics of the actual house might be bad idea...

I was wrong about the river being in my back yard...its actually the front yard

Hey Dan.....

This color green?

Nice,

Looks like Tumbling rappids to me.

Dont worry I didnt mean anything by that post just giving a heads up.

Wow, WOw, WOW.

Curse you, h2o !! Now you're putting up pictures.

So.....uh......I got you a housewarming gift, but I'll need your address (or just driving directions from Oly) to get it to you. No, really.........

You gotta be stoked! Still stuck here 7 days a week but you can bet when I get a free weekend I will be giving you a call... Congrats!!!!

Drop me an email at work with your new number when you get a chance...

I too used to spend a lot of time in Beaver when I was a bit younger... But then I got married and now I almost forget what it looks like!

Very cool, h20.

I'll be sure to send you those Vision Siwash hooks as your housewarming gift!

H2O,
Congratulations. Looks like a dream spot you will enjoy for years to come.
No doubt your situation is different but oddly when I moved to my dream spot on the Cedar many years ago with a home office that overlooked a classic steelhead run off my front yard, I ended up fishing it far far less than I had ever fished it before. It wasn't till I moved away that I realized how little I fished it while I was there. Just mentioning it so that familiarity does not breed contempt.
Live long and give thanks.

Eric,

Are we still friends?

Have fun!

Fish on...

Todd.

Oh great another one of those darn imports from the sound area like Bob. Congrats and we will see you on the river.

4salt-



Ya gotta turn the lights on, man.

h2o/// if you and your buddies all move to Sappho it will be a big savings to the taxpayer...John Ashcroft's dept. can keep an eye on all of you in one place.
