I've been to a real rendezvous in southern Colorado where each year the locals spend a week living in Teepees and reeenacting and relearning the mountainsmens way, Cooking on skilets and in cast iron pots, thowing Tomahawks, Firing single shot black poweder rifles, skinning critters, making clothing from hide etc, got the piccies some place.
