Post by zentull »

2007 Dutch Hunters Rendezvous

Tentative Schedule

Friday A.M.

Gates open at the Dons camp

A number of guests have asked for Thursday evening access. Randy Wright is taking the time and effort to make sure the gates are unlocked Friday morning and earlier arrivals will have to contact Randy for information and his availability.

2PM Quarter Circle U tour

We will meet at 2PM at the Main Ramada area. The ranch is celebrating it’s 130 anniversary from when Jack Minor established it. Howard Hornick is our host and will be receiving a cattle shipment that day. We would like to have a group photo at the Boardhouse for the archives if possible. The McCullough family will be stopping by and riding out to the Ranch with us. Nancy McCullough is the daughter of Bill Barkley and Grand daughter of Tex Barkley.

6PM Author Jack San Felice at the main Ramada campfire

Having Jack out again this year is a treat. He is the author of “Treasure Trails of the Superstitions” and the excellent “When Silver Was King” as well as a number of articles published in the Superstion Mountain Journal.

Saturday A.M.

9AM Hike to Dacite cliffs mine w/ Greg Davis

This hike will take you to the lower mine area, the Indian cave, Carney springs, the pictoglyph site and the upper Dacite mines. The longer hike is more difficult and requires some climbing.

Noon short hike return

3PM Long hike return

It is suggested that participants bring head netting and flashlights for the hike.

6PM main Ramada campfire Open discussion

If you are bringing Horses please camp at the upper camp area above the amphitheatre. Lower camp areas are first come, first serve until they are full. Restrooms are available in the lower camp area for both Men and Women. Open fires only in the designated areas.

Anyone looking to have group discussions or an alternative hike throughout the weekend may post them at the main Ramada for any times that are open. We encourage everyone’s involvement and at the same time encourage you to follow through with your own plans and ideas. As with the forums most of us are a part of are run through the Dutch Hunting community, this weekend is organized and run through all our joint efforts as a whole.

As a reminder there is no water at the camp, you must bring your own and all campfires must be self contained as per the wilderness area rules and regulations.The camp has adjacent access to the Lost Dutchman, Peralta and Barks canyon trailheads.
