we've reserved Rendezvous Point for the meeting. It's a modern facility with a kitchen. I'll line up a chef. I have a vault where guns and small items can be kept and a large workshop where vehicles with valuables too big for the vault can be stored.
This is a good time to come here. The weather is still nice. The crowds in Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons and Jackson are much smaller. It's a good time to visit those places. It does get down to freezing at night so bring warm clothes.
This is a prime time for high country elk, mule deer, moose and bighorn sheep hunting. You'll need to secure an outfitter for these. The antelope are migrating through and you can hunt them around here on public land. No outfitter needed.
I am looking forward to seeing what you guys bring and sharing my unusual collection of Savage 1895, 1899 and 99's with you guys. David

I'd love to make it, but I'll be flying out for a hunt in Alberta on 9/28. Wish all who attend a great time.

Forgot to mention, Saturday nights meal will be an elk feed!

I am making plans to attend, and would like at least 1 table. Will communicate more as plans mature through the jelly stage.

The closest airport is in Jackson, about 1 3/4 hours from Pinedale.
It'll be great to see you again Norm.
The facility is large. I think there won't be any limitation on tables. If Rendezvous Point doesn't have enough the library said we could borrow some of their tables. I considered the library first but not secure enough. It has a nice meeting room.
Keep the questions coming.

Just checked with a couple of hotels. The prices drop some by late Sep. We can get a deal if we take 10 rooms. An alternative is if you bring a camper or a tent you can camp out on my property.

Is there a place to store a few saddle mules?
It googles only 4,5 hours from my place.
If anyone wants to sell to a bottom feeder…..bring yer grey rats! ( light weight barrel, DT )

Was very excited to see the promo, then found out we have a family wedding that weekend so not able to come. Disappointing. Was hoping for the chance to meet and greet many of you. I’m sure that it will be a great event for many. I’ll keep my eyes open for other opportunities.

Angus, I have two horses, about 7 or 8 acres fenced, a barn with a shelter and hay storage. You are certainly welcome to bring the mules.
mjac, we have a lot of places to camp, most of them free, some really expensive. You are welcome to camp on my property. There are some really neat places to camp in the foothills of the Wind River Range.
Too bad some of you guys have a conflict.

Would love to come. Life is currently playing out minute by minute but maybe by then things will calm down.
