Dear Friends

We shall encamp at an old established Rendezvous
spot on the Yellowstone River at Riverside park just
south of Laurel, Montana.. Captain Clark of the Lewis
and Clark Expedition camped here to 1806 on the way
down river to rejoin Lewis at the confluence of the
Yellowstone with the Missouri on the way back to S.
Louis. This is also where Jim Bridger in 1836-1837
made his winter camp on this old established gathering
place. The location is shaded by very old Cottonwood
trees. The camp has good drinking water, showers and
parking for participants and visitors. The Rendevous
celebrates living history events spanning the time line of
the Beaver Men while focusing upon Lewis and Clark.
The Rendezvous location should be very convenient
for visitors, with Laurel only a couple of miles away and
with easy access off the interstate as well as highway
212, both major Yellowstone Park tourist routes
This should make for a very busy Traders Row.
