Great site, Thanks.
As an ex Rendezvous(er) I enjoyed reading about the real thing.
It seems that the "rendezvous" depicted in the Charlton Heston
movie "The Mountain Men" wasn't far off the mark.
you are welcome. always wanted to attend one of those rendezvous. do you have any pics you can post?
No, no pics. I really enjoyed the four rendezvous I attended.
On my first I came in 2nd on the rifle shoot. Score was a tie
so we shot at a playing card to decide - I lost.
Primitive site was neat, tepees, the whole deal, nothing modern.
Tomahawk and knife throwing. Lots of fun over a weekend.
Still have my rifle (Lyman great plains 50 cal caplock)
