Hi..Just found your site and am very impressed....don't think that I can
become a mountain man...but enjoy learning the ways....I have medical
problems....which limit my activities....
But I do some blacksmithing and have a percussion cap
muzzleloader....would like to go to a rendezous and see how things work,
but live in West Virginia and not sure of how to find out about things
like that or even if they have them back east....I know that all the
rendezous during the fur trapping era were in the west.....So if no
problem,enjoy reading about mountain men on this list.....thanks Mike
Mike,
Some of the biggest rendezvous in the U.S. are in the east. Contact Jason Gatliff at "On The Trail Magazine" ( editor@ottmagazine.com) and he can put you in contact with someone in your area.
At an eastern rendezvous you will see people interested in every period, from the French & Indian War (George Washington set up a line of forts in West Virginia during that period) to the Rocky Mountain trappers. A good blacksmith is always welcome at rendezvous.
If you like this site, you will love Jason's magazine. You might as well get a subscription while you're at it.
All my best,
Lee Teter

Welcome indeed. Some members of this list are in West Virginia if memory
serves me right, Adison??????? Also, everyone here has limitations of one
kind or another. There are some who have health problems that limit their
ability to get out but they take their hobby as they can. Dennis Stitcher
out west here has some health problems but he and his boys are always
welcome at a camp and have hunted and canoed as he has kindly shared details
about on this list.
We need fresh faces questions and perspectives on this list. I remember
when I first joined I must have started a dozen good arguments. Now look at
all that fun the other members would have missed out on if I hadn't asked
all those stupid questions.

Hello. I haven't heard anything for about three days, I'm wondering if I'm still hooked in. Our sever was down for about 24 hours.
