We shall encamp at an old established rendezvous spot on the Yellowstone River just south of Laurel, Montana. This is also where Jim Bridger in 1836-1837, made his winter camp on this old established gathering place. Headwater camps have good drinking water, showers, and parking for participants and visitors. Entertainment, presentations and workshops will include black powder events, period music with fiddler Halleck Brenden, artifact showing by Howard Thom, archeological commentaries by Wilfred Husted, a paper presentation on the history of Clark bottom by Dr. Don Woerner, a technical talk on the Northern Plains Horse Bows and related archery equipment by Lone Badger and the Northwest Trade Gun by Bill Newton.
Laurel operates with a self regulating traders committee.
We all look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones at the Laurel Rendezvous in 1998. Turn left on top Thiel Road and stay on this road all of the way to Clark s Camp.
