All are welcome

Frank,

Look forward to seeing you again. As usual, I will arrive Thursday night. If no Don is there, I will just spend the night in the lower parking lot. No food prep this year, but if I make it to the 20 yr. reunion, I will do Dutch Hunter's Stew for the Friday arrivals.:)

See you all there.

Joe

A few photos from the 2019 15th annual Dutch Hunters Rendezvous held at the Don's Camp in the shadow of the Superstition Mountains.

The 15th Rendezvous was well attended again this year, between 70 - 80 dutch hunters over friday and saturday. Weather was perfect and interesting speakers at the saturday night get together.

Howdy Mr. Roberts,

A lot of Dutchman savvy just in those pictures, but where is the selfie? Sure wish I could have been there, but had too much going on, walking the bride on Saturday. Seventy to Eighty is quite a group, and that is just the ones that were able to go. I know there are hundreds who visit this forum, wish more would post every now and then.

I'm still pretty new around here, but I think it would be a worthwhile trip. Maybe we'll hear some more from those that were able to attend.

On our way to the Rendezvous Dave & I stopped by the OK Corral to see
Ron, Jesse & check out the rock shop. I had a great time visiting them & seeing the horses (which I don't get to see often).
Going there made my day!
The Rendezvous is cool seeing all from last year, I really liked the display of maps!
It would be cool if everyone brought something....kind of a "show & tell" would make for a much more exciting
event & it would "break the ice"
to make new friends........just a thought.
I have a collection of really cool interesting items I could bring.

Them dang treasure hunter they are very secretive that is why you need to go to the rendezvous so you can get in on that info. The hunters are not going to let it out on a world wide public forum some have worked hard to get that info collected there entire life.
