Extravagant Ones:
Keeping with the tradition of being extravagant, as depicted in the attached sampling of photos, this past week your Hostess With the Mostess and I took delivery of the now almost completed 3,000 second Montana home that we have been working on for the past year and a half...and what a beauty it is!
Designed to our specifications by architect Mike Gentry of Seattle, Washington and built by our long-time Montana contractor "Bruce the Builder" Hover to his exacting standards (check out that staircase, gang!), soon to be part of our Extravaganza bevy of host houses is this true wonder that is now co-owned by us with longtime veteran Extravaganzers "Squawfish Tim" Rodgers, his bride "Shanna Banana" and Brian "The Moraine" Shepard (and their families) of Napa's Walsh Vineyards Management. This upcoming week is dedicated to attending to final construction details and, on Tuesday, to (finally!) take delivery on the furniture and artwork that we have purchased over the past year for this true Blackfoot Beauty.
Located only 15 minutes from the Missoula airport and just 3 miles upstream from the confluence of The Big ("A River Runs Through It") Blackfoot River with the Clark Fork of the Columbia River, by all accounts of the many Montana professionals who are in the know to know and have seen Bruce the Builder's handiwork, once done, this home will be one of the finest structures along one of the most famous fly fishing rivers in the world--it was the Big Blackfoot River that Norman McLean wrote of [and Brad Pitt stared in the legendary movie about] in A River Runs Through It.
On your E-10 arrival day(s), we will go directly from our Opening Day Lunch so you can see, in person, this special property--the same property that many of you veterans saw mid construction during E-09.
Bueno, bueno, bueno!
