As my eventful week here in Patagonia, Chile, winds itself down I thought I would give you this up-to-the-minute update on my days of very full activities. As many of you know, last November, with Kathy then very ill, with her blessings I scheduled a solo February fly fishing trip here to not only fish but see this fabled part of the world. What neither of us realized at the time was that the trip would occur just ten days following her passing.
There is a wise saying that "When one door closes another opens" and that, indeed, was what happened to me in here February: I had just lost the love of my life and was presented with the majesty of this wonderful part of the world as its replacement.
Resultantly, after three months of hard work, I am thrilled to let you know that at 11:00 a.m. local time here tomorrow (we are currently the equivalent of EDT, btw) title to the acreage to Patagonia's to-be newest destination fly fishing and ecotourist lodge will be formally transferred into our Casa Consuela Chilean company with the bonus that property immediately adjoining it will be simultaneously transferred into a just-created Chilean entity known and created as Casa del Loco Ron SpA, which, just like the Montana homes, will be the future site of my own Chilean outpost. And what an outpost this will be with having, like the new lodge, sweeping Andean views of pristine countryside and meandering river but also having a spring creek flowing through it fed by a majestic thousand-foot waterfall right in its very own backyard! Now that is far more cool in reality, gang, than it is loco!!
It has taken all of my legal skills garnered over the past forty-plus years to make this happen, for, as so often is the case with outlying locales, traditions here are as hard to understand as they are to deal with but, this week, with a wonderful series of face-to-face meetings, that is what my new partners Eduardo, Consuelo and I have done and dealt with, and, indeed, together we are a wonderful force to be reckoned with, all--a force that even a handful of local rainbows and browns came to encounter yesterday during a high altitude snow storm visited by Eduardo and me.
So, there it is: tomorrow is our scheduled Big Day here and what a blessed day it will be!
Best to all from the future site of Extravagonia...the upcoming annual trip(s) to Magic Waters's (www.magicwaterspatagonia.com ) newest addition, Casa Consuelo, to be personally hosted by its newest neighbor, yours truly, Loco Ron.
