Mountain Man Rendezvous

I had heard about these things from my friend Dan but had never been to one yet. It's kind of like a primitive flea market in a way. There were plenty of vendors selling all sorts of stuff and some of them were quite artistic and had some unique things for sale.


Many of the people who go to these things dress up in the garb of the day and as you walk around you get to see all sorts of different outfits. Curtis, Krista's husband, was wearing some stuff that Karen had made and he fit right in. The rest of us except Kayla who wore something different were the typical tourists with cameras and shorts.


We went there 2 days and Saturday it was nice but Sunday we got caught in a downpour and got drenched before we could get back to our vehicles.

It was a great experience even though we found out later that there had been an accident and one of the participants had been killed on Saturday night. I had no doubt that alcohol had to be involved since drinking was a big thing with most everyone there.
