Dear Mr. Chlock--

Thanks... 'flinchlock' is from, to flinch as one is shooting his flintlock.
I 'rendezvous' with a bunch of people that dress in clothing like the French and Indian War (1756) area... Daniel Boone long hunter shirts, and even a breech clout (an Indian diaper). Only canvas tents, no modern stuff in view, etc.
From Wikipedia..."Rendezvous" was the name used for the annual meeting of mountain men and fur buyers during the Western fur trade era, where trappers would exchange beaver skins for supplies and goods they wanted. These events occurred between the early 1820s and the 1840s, coming to an end when the price of beaver skins fell due to changes in fashion. It is now used for any gathering in the buckskinning historical re-enactment hobby.

I had a hunch you were pointing that way, Mike.
Do you make your own gear and all?

Just some of the real simple stuff... leather leggings.
But, my wife has been making historical clothing for at least 25 years.

My wife is the 7th picture down the left side... she has a white "mop cap" on her head.

I copied the most recent map to AutoCAD, placed a point on all 23 dots, got the X-Y coordinates of the dots, averaged the X's and the Y's, and came up with the green dot shown above as the central location so far.
Any suggestions on nearby gathering points, please post here.

Mark,
That's just about the location of Great Basin National Park, not a bad spot and very easy to get to. Ain't AutoCad a great tool.

Nice job Mark.
I'll second GBNP as a unique place. Big mountains, deep caves, remote and scenic and I would guess one of the least-visited national parks. That would make a great meeting place for a FWC/ATC rally.

Mark,
it is kind of interesting how the "focal point" would shift around.
No cheating!

done, El Kew.
There appears to be an early consensus on Great Basin NP, but some folks are also talking about a fall trip to Glen Canyon NP and in particular, Driving the Hole-in-the-Rock Road .
I'm looking at the trip from my house, and thinking, "Shoot, why not do both, and string them together with the North Rim of the GC?

If we have even a loose agenda folks could meet along the way. What ever they find suits their needs.
