We felt the overall quality of the traders and number of traders declined when they raised their fees at Fort Massac.
Just a few days out now, I'll see you fine folks there if you're going.... 
Planning on getting there Friday around noon. Will be trying for a spot up front near road.
We're planning to arrive sometime early afternoon on Friday. Halloween tripped us up this year.
Look me up I'll be all the in the back close to the gate we'll be setting up Thur. but will leave and be back on Fri.
I got your spot at the Connor house for three days, are you camping the entire weekend?
Actually we're staying at the Conner House as well. The Quebec room became available after a cancellation. Not my favorite room but it beats running back and forth to Redbub. Still not geared up for a overnight "glamping experience" camping.
Well, I'm geared up for it but getting too old to do it... I'll see you there.
Oh , and by the way there are no bad rooms at that place.
Tis’ the Season…..
I plan to make it too the Ft. one day.
I hope you Guys enjoy the camp and may the weather Gods bless y’all.

Our Fall Rendezvous was last week.
Our Fall Rendezvous was last week.
I manged to make it to the rendezvous Saturday. I didn't realize how big it was going to be! Spent about five hours walking around and still don't think we saw everything. Had some friends from St Louis with us so spent most of the time with them and didn't get to go on a woods walk. Still had a great time though! Definitely would like to go again in spring. Took a few photos. Have quite a few more.
@andy52 I attempted to find your spot but wasn't successful. Or maybe I did and just didn't know it.

Had to be there Friday for the team captain to register a team for the Woods Walk.
Missed my camp too.
Hmm, I think this may be a trap.
Defending the fort. Must be about 50 savages.
I was just hoping to follow along on a Woods Walk.
I was just hoping to tag along on a Woods Walk. Nowhere close to being ready to participate in one.
I saw a few others in red coats. One had a grenadier's uniform, I think, which also looked great. I have a courier du bois outfit started but seeing everyone else made me realize I need to step up my game!
Wanted to go back Sunday but had to head home.
Since you were dressed in Period clothing to go over the levy with a team, you could have done that. The important restriction is that you couldn't talk about what happened until all teams had completed the shooting. Ask the team captain and the scoring judges if you could tag along. Of course, no interaction with the team or the judging is permitted. We had about two children and three observes follow us.
Knowing that you needed to improve your clothing is a start. The reenactors I know will respond positively when asked about the hobby. Don't be afraid to talk to any of us. I was the Grenadier with the gray gaiters.
A few more photos.
