Its Rendezvous time and the Voyagers Territory is joining up with the Rivermen Territory for a sure enough “Our paths have crossed” Rendezvous.
The 2023 Rivermen and Voyagers Joint Territorial Rendezvous will be here before you can finish scratchin’ yore itch. There’s so much to do; gettin’ yore buckskins, foofaraw and plunder cleaned up, fixed up, packed up and ready to load on your pack mule in so little time.
I for one am about as excited as a new buffalo calf on the open prairie. This Joint Rendezvous promises to be an adventure that will create stories and establish braggin’ rights for years to come. The Voyagers will trek over and down, as the Rivermen travel up and over to join up at Camp Dubois in Wood River, Illinois. This camp is located on the confluence of the Wood River and the east side of the Mississippi River. We share the fort that served as the winter camp and launch-point for the exploration of the Louisiana Purchase with the memories of great men from days of old, the heroes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
Take note of all the hard work put into this packet chock full of much needed information to prepare you and all within these boundaries and beyond for this event. There are so many details, all of which are important, that you should take time to read it ‘all’ – I know what you’re thinking… it’s too much for an old hivernant like me to chew up. Well then, do the math – four of you can get together and read one-third of it apiece. Then for sure all the info will get to all of your Young Bucks and that’s really the reason we are doing all of this – right!??
I look forward to sharing time with all of you around the campfire, but most importantly I ask that you start praying for the move of the Holy Spirit within our encampment for God to minister to each and every Young Buck and Old Timer who comes to this Rendezvous.
