Rendezvous 2019

[Mc4500]

The 2019 Dutch Hunters Rendezvous is being held Friday, Saturday and Sunday, November 1st, 2nd and 3rd this year at the Don's Camp on Peralta road.

I have been asked to bring several maps to the Rendezvous this year:

The J. Alan Stirrat 1948 Map of the Lost Dutchman and other legendary mine areas in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona. Original copy. This map is important to all serious dutch hunters because it traces all the earliest Spanish and Mexican trails through the mountains.

All of the earliest Military Maps of the Superstitions, some are pre Fort McDowell maps, as well as maps that show the early trails from from Prescott through to Fort McDowell, Fort Verde, and the Superstition Mountains. All maps are from the 1864 - 1874 era. Total 5 maps.

Walter Gasslers map.

Also one map showing the locations of known mines and diggings as well as the location of camps of many of the early Dutch hunters.

Some of these maps like the Stirrat map are quite large. All the maps will be available to be filmed by photo or video as it is best to get close up shots of various areas on the maps rather than a long shot of the entire map.

I will be at the Rendezvous on Friday and Saturday but not Sunday. Anyone interested is welcome to take photos.

Thank you Matthew for the update info.

Unfortunately it is not looking good for us, probably won't be able to attend. I hope someone will share photos of the maps, sounds like it will be very interesting.

Upper 80s/low 90s right now. Should be in the mid to low 80s by the rendezvous, with lows in the 50s.

Just made reservations for a motorhome and will be coming to this years Rendezvous. My Son In Law, Scott, will be coming with me. Carolyn will not be coming. Hope to set up in my usual spot. If someone can bring the shade I donated to the event, we can attach it to the motorhome's canopy. If there is something I can bring to help out, just let me know. I will bring a book from my library to donate for the drawing.

Look forward to seeing many of you there.
