2013
"8th
Annual
National
Encampment"
dates
have been set.
Now
is the time to start
planning a year in advance
to make this one in Rye
Colorado.
11th
- 16h day of June 2013
_____________________
We
will start advertising in
the Apr/May issue of
"Smoke Signals".
- Giving
everyone ample time to
arrange vacation
scheduling.
- Plan
for different places
to visit to and from
the Nationals for a
family outing.
- Emails
will be sent out
listing members in
your home state, so
car pooling or a
caravan my be planned.
That's a fun way to
travel with friends.

The
2013 NAF Nationals will be
held near the town of Rye,
Colorado. You will need to
bring water, your gear and
something to add to the
pot luck which we will
have one night. There is
archery and shooting
ranges, on close to 2000
acres to explore,
impromptu classes and
plenty of good campsites
for your choosing.
Plenty
of trees to hold classes
under and the main camp
can spread out a little if
that is what the people
who show up want.
The
closest hospitals are in
Pueblo and Raton, so it
would take a while to get
any major accident to one.
So the men would need to
be careful.

We
told the owner that he and his
family are welcome to come to the
camp to see what we are like and
would let him know when the pot
luck will be.
Our
2007 Nationals was on this same
site just west of the Mountain
route of the Santa Fe Trail, less
than a hundred miles to Bent's Old
Fort or Great Sand Dunes National
Monument. Whittington Center is
just down the trail, along with
Santa Fe where we could dance a
fandango with the pretty dark eyed
Senoritas. Maybe we can find where
Ol' Jedediah went under down along
the Cimmaron. Pecos Pueblo, Fort
Union, and lots more is available
for added interest.

All
the rendezvous were held west of
the Continental Divide with the
exception of the 1829, 1830, and
1838 rendezvous. Six of the
sixteen rendezvous were held
outside the United States in
territory belonging to Mexico.
Except for two sites in Utah and
one in Idaho, all of the
rendezvous were held in Wyoming.
Many of the major parties passed
through Colorado heading into the
Rockies.
