Greetings from the other Down Under, gang: gorgeous Patagonia, Chile where,
because of my desire to build the best fly fishing and ecolodge in this
area, my new local name (so bestowed upon me by our wonderful local
Coyhaique legal counsel) is now "Loco Ron" (in fact we are forming later
today a Chilean sister sPa (corporation) to the main investment entity Casa
Consuelo, sPa, that will be named "Casa de Loco Ron, sPa"--who says you
can't have fun from afar?!?
Yesterday we traveled to the new lodge site and staked out the new 6,000+
square foot 10-bed facility--a truly special day in ever so many ways. Not
only was it a family affair with present and lodge operators Eduardo and
Consuelo, but their two wonderful children were also present to help out
with the tape measuring and staking out of the future main building that
will be supported by several additional buildings, including a storage
facility and six bed guide home. Further, the vistas from this new facility
are simply stunning, looking westward from its above-river perch over and
along the totally virgin countryside. Mark my words that, the Loco Ron
moniker notwithstanding, this facility, when completed, will quickly become
a worldwide destination for nature lovers of all kinds--including fly
fisherfolk who look to follow Eduardo's wader steps of just last week when,
with professional photographer at his side, he caught (and appropriately
released) a 23-pound 28" rainbow from one of the very nearby lagoons!!
Tomorrow we will return to the future lodge site (with fishing rods in hand)
to test the local waters that, this Thursday, will adjoin our
then-to-be-purchased 25+ acres, measured Down Under in hectares.
Pictures to follow upon my return this weekend!
Best to all in the early birthing stages of Casa Consuelo with its Loco Ron
sidekick!
