Hello All,
I've been enjoying the pics of the MS Rendezvous. Looks like a great time was had by all. We'll try to keep the momentum going in 2007.
Just wanted to send out a preliminary heads-up about the 2007 Rendezvous.
-Dates: Wednesday, August 29 – Monday, September 3 (Labor Day Weekend - allows for extra day, higher elevation site, snow can come mid-September)
-Place: Cal-wood in Jamestown, CO
http://www.calwood.org/about 30 minutes from Boulder, 1 1/4 hours from Denver International Airport.
-Site de_script_ion: Over a thousand acres of hills, stream valleys, and hidden groves. Lots of medium to old growth ponderosa, from 300-500 years old. Some good size Doug firs (for CO), about 100', with lots of surfing opportunities. Some hidden canyons and emergent/ridge opportunities. Few hardwoods, such as aspen and cottonwood. Elevation 7800ft/2377m, same as my house for those who've visited.
-Transportation: regular buses from DIA to Boulder ($10) - we're working on the rest.
-Accommodations: Eight cabins with total capacity of 64+, linens included, plus camping/treeboating.
-Cost: We're working on that, but it looks reasonable.
-Programs/workshops: So far - BTCC with Abe; Tree-time with Tim; Conifer hazard assessment with Peter; Rogue Climbing with Joe; climbing excursion to "Lancelot" (lanceleaf cottonwood) in Ft. Collins; Tree myths, legends, and storytelling around the campfire with Harv et al. Something from New Tribe...
(any other volunteers, suggestions? Let me know.)
-Publicity: am planning lots, both domestic and international. Any help appreciated - let me know.
That's all for now. Hope you all can make it.
-Harv
