If anyone is going and needs an extra shooter on their team I might be available.

Yes, sir I do, you can't miss my camp it's the one with 30-40 wool blankets or if you were there last year my team is the one who hosted the shoot.

I'm hoping to go but just as an observer.

You are more than welcome to tag along with my team, you just can't engage in conversation with the team or judges as you follow along.

That would be great. If I end up going, I'll plan to look you up. I haven't been to a rendezvous so looking to learn.

Bring a camera.

Noticing there aren't a lot of nearby lodging options. Anyone who's been here before have any suggestions? Don't mind camping if the weather is semi cooperative.

 

[andy52]

Waterloo would be the closest place to find lodging.

Mulling it over still. Weather is a big factor for me, don't mind the cold, it's the cold/rain that gets me especially on Sunday when I have to tear down a wet tent and gear and pack it up to drive 6 hours back home.

 

[andy52]

If you decide to go stop by my camp, we didn't get much time to talk last year due to me having to host the woods walk.

My brother and possibly another friend will be in my camp and if it all works out we will be camped up towards the road I think we were on "Roosters Run?" in June. I will look for the wool blankets and stop in.

The rest of my team and I will probably set up on the north side up close to the road along the back of the Fort. You can't miss it with all the blankets I have out on display.

I’ll be setup up near the fort gate. In the group of trees. Where the military used to always be. Djuana is having some merchants and craftsmen setup there last I heard. I’ll have stuff. Old tools. Guns. Gun parts.

Conner House B&B is the only place nearby. Pricey but very nice. Always book during the De Chartres events. We’ve stayed they the last 3 years but gave our spot away this year. Going to have to stay in Redbud (10 miles away) this year.
