I’m interested for sure! I haven’t been to a rendezvous since I went into the service and probably a couple years before that. Do you have any info or a link for it? Thanks!

Hello all, as a kid I went to the rendezvous in Pagosa Springs many times, and I was fascinated with black powder guns. Not so much the 'lifestyle' though. I thought it was neat but the GUNS captured my attention. I talked to a lot of people, shot a few rifles and really enjoyed it, the seed planted 40-ish years ago finally took root. I am again very much interested in the black powder shooting. Currently I have a Remington Navy spaghetti pistol I have no plan for and a Cabelas Investarms 54 cal plains style flint spaghetti rifle. The Investarms rifle is superb for what it is, my copy anyway. Once I learned how to manage it I have had dead solid reliability, it is also more accurate than I expected for sure with PRB and real black. I have hunted deer, elk, bear and varmints all my life, but last year I hunted primarily with a bow and ML and I enjoyed it more than I have hunting with a centerfire for a long time. I am planning a build and buying tools, and have been lurking here reading everything I can (ALR also) for months. Thanks a ton to those that contribute and especially the 'how-to' posts.

Thanks, Howard.

I walked in for the first weekend, and it was great! This was my first 'Vous, but won't be my last.
More canvas tents than I had ever seen at one time. And lots of assorted camps with tents, covered sitting areas, and all kinds of arrangements. Some of these folks camp almost every weekend, travelling all over the country.
This weekend, I'll be with Col. Fannin's men down at Goliad, Texas. We'll be camped inside the walls of the Presidio. The Mexicans have gathered down there, and I think we might have to convince them to go home.
Wish us luck!

The weather was hot, and there were more Mexicans than we thought.
After a skirmish at Coleto Creek, and a parley with General Urrea, the General assured Colonel Fannin that we would be sent by boat to New Orleans, so Col. Fannin thought it would be best to surrender.
After spending Saturday night in the Chapel, we were marched towards the San Antonio River.
On the orders of the despicable Generalissimo Santa Anna, we were betrayed, and on Palm Sunday, the Mexicans massacred us. A few escaped into the woods, and relayed the story to General Houston.
We found justice at San Jacinto!
Remember The Alamo!
Remember Goliad!
