    My clothes where all wet, not from snow but from sweat. I was dressed for outside but the car ride made me loose a couple of liters of sweat. Peter had the heat seating on, and I didn't say a word since I wanted to see how much heat I could endure.

    When we got back I had moved my equipment to the second stop where I was to spend the rest of nights. www.kraja.se. I had everything in this cabin, even a possibility to dry the clothes. It was so cozy that I almost overslept. It had everything from TV to a kitchen. The prices were a bargain www.kraja.se . Their breakfasts where a feast, Savoj and Plaza would not be able to compete with them. The best was their service. No wait, the best was the dinner in the restaurant. No, the best was the Sauna. No, wait, the best was the price. To tell you the truth I really can't say what was the best. It was simply the best! I stayed there for the remainder of my trip.

    The next day turned out to be one of the most interesting snowmobile rides I ever had. To get the chance to talk to Robert Pantze, the painter. You know, I have never been a person to pretend to understand art, but when I've come across his paintings many times in my life, I actually feel something when I see them. I am to see www.pantze.com

    Even though it is said that he does not give interviews anymore, he allowed me one of these rare interviews, providing I come along on a tour as a "help," without the German tourists knowing that I am actually there for him, and without disturbing the harmony during the tour. Peter made sure that I would have a snow scooter available, as well as transportation to and from my cabin to see him. I will share the interview with you some other time. His tours turned out to be one of the best and turned amateurs into novices within a couple of hours. The course... it does not exist. It is deep snow, woods and high mountains. We saw the holy mountain Sarek in the distance while we prepared lunch. The Germans seemed impressed that one could make a fire without matches or lighters.

    Arjeplog is so much more and has so many unusual tales. Tales of settlers and Samis alike being used by the Swedish politics and church. A unusual tale to tell in the triangle of the pole circle. A tale of a young doctor. A tale of an outdoor-artist. The tale of prosecution. hunting for riches, hunting for solitude, for harmony.
