Muzzleloading Rendezvous – David Thompson Black Powder Shoot

April 29, 2014March 31, 2017 Eileen Leave a comment M & E's Excellent Adventures, Muzzleloading, Outdoor Adventure

We arrived at the rendezvous to discover that the rest of our muzzleloading club was hiding out in their tents. The rain, which had started pouring down on the previous day, had proved to be a bit much for everyone.     After getting some supplies together, we headed over to sign up for the […]

Week 1 The orange sign with the green 4H clover was propped on the rural mail box marking the turn to Lapp’s farm. After a long cold winter the snow was melting and the road to the farm-house was muddy. As we passed the white farmhouse, I noticed that it looked empty and said that […]

May 24, 2013April 4, 2015 Mallory Leave a comment Glacier Country, Muzzleloading

Gimme a Break! Don’t give me a break.   How do you learn to be good at something?

Have a Mountain Man Rendezvous in Your Own Backyard!

December 19, 2012February 23, 2017 Mallory Leave a comment Muzzleloading, Outdoor Adventure

The mountain men were a lonely breed. But when they had fun, they really had fun.

A Couple of Kidders: David and I Celebrate 39 Years of Marriage

May 22, 2012March 31, 2014 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Muzzleloading, Outdoor Adventure

Muzzleloading Rendezvous on the Frontier

May 9, 2012February 25, 2014 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country, Muzzleloading, Outdoor Adventure

The setting for the David Thompson Black Powder Shoot in Eureka was held on a golden prairie surrounded by mountains with spectacular views into Canada. The scenery was out of this world. It is no wonder that the Lakota loved this land.     As we entered the rendezvous grounds, I beheld a sweeping landscape […]

The Tipi

May 3, 2012September 4, 2017 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country, Muzzleloading

A tipi (also tepee and teepee) is a Lakota name for a conical tent traditionally made of animal skins and wooden poles used by the nomadic tribes and sedentary tribal dwellers (when hunting) of the Great Plains. – Wikipedia It was indescribably beautiful at last weekend’s Mountain Man Rendezvous in Eureka, Montana. Tipis dotted the vast […]
