This past weekend was the annual Yellow Springs Rendezvous in Stony Valley. Our roster was up to 17. This was a new record.We got on the trail around noon on Saturday and hiked in 3.5 miles to the abandoned village of Yellow Springs. We camped just a few hundred yards from there. There was a about an inch of snow on the ground. The temperature was in the 30s during the day with no wind. It got down to 19 that night, but that was far from our record of 5 degrees. The one inch of snow was also far from our record of about 20 inches.
After camp was established, a roaring fire was built. Some of us went for a hike up to see the remnants of an abandoned coal mining operation. Others began the yearly ritual of "busting caps." We concluded by firing the FPF.
Supper was great as members of our party brought venison and caribou from this past falls hunting season. We also had plenty of fry bread and other snacks, but sadly, no boilo.
Had a great time spinning yarns, shooting, and partaking in revelry. I'm already looking forward to next year's rendezvous. Below are some Pictures of the weekend.
