2021 Santa Fe Trail WINTER Rendezvous 1/31-2/7

[FrontierGander]

Got word from my buddy that the Whittington Center near Raton NM has given the thumbs up on our first Winter rendezvous! The rendezvous site will be held near the Archery range and is a pretty looking area.

As of right now, stoves with a spark arrestor are allowed. Open fires are NOT allowed due to fire restriction. I'll be bringing a large propane tank with my mr buddy heater for my tent.

Firewood will be on site. Water will have to be hauled a little ways off.

I would setup camp at the edge of the woods Jon. Which way is the slope facing on the second picture looking to the right down hill? Set behind those few trees with the back of your camp to the forest (good wind break) get the morning sun and easy to patrol at night.

We set up a trail walk fri and sat. Its gonna be one hell of a challenge! Rough terrain, uphill targets , targets that must be hit shooting through brush.

We set up a couple long range metal targets for typical shooting fun. Knife and hawk range and trail walk is in. It was a ton of work but well worth it.
