These pictures were taken by me using a SLR Pentax film camera. I still have all my stuff, but due to my wife's health I haven't been to a rendezvous for several years. It's getting to the point now that I don't know if my old bones are up to sleeping on the ground, but I sure had fun while it lasted. The pictures are of a three different primitive rendezvous', two in Oregon and one in Montana. A rendezvous is supposed to emulate a fur trade trappers camp in 1840 or before. We shoot muzzleloading firearms, both cap and flint lock, no nylon or modern camping gear, tents are canvass, clothing is cotton, buckskin or wool, cook on a camp fire, start the fire with flint and steel and tend to just have one heck of a good time for several days.
The first picture is camped on the Flathead in Montana. Glacier Nat'l Park is in the background. I suspect this rondy was in the mid 80's, don't remember exactly. I love the picture though.
The next photo is near Oakridge, OR, and is called Frog Holler. These pictures were taken in probably the late 70's, early 80's, and are two different occasions when I camped there.
These next two pictures are camped on the Chewacan, River near Paisley, Oregon.
And the last one is Grandpa helping my granddaughter get off a shot in the pee-wee shoot.

... Sure is a cute picture.
