The Mogollon Mountain Man Rendezvous was a very different experience this year since I was not in charge of anything but just assisting. I went up for just one day to help with the registration. Jared, on the left, was the primary Scribe this time.
Wayne Spence, on the left was the other co-Scribe for this event. They were both working with me at the registration table.
When registration was over I took a few hours to just wander around the events and see what was taking place this year. It wasn't too different from other years . . . except that I was not sitting up in the main Dining Hall waiting for the late arrivals to wander through to pay their fees and find their canp sites.
The two-man sawing event was still taking place at the Timber Cruiser outpost.
The Tomahawk throwing has become more colorful this time. It probably makes it much easier to find an orange and red hawk than on old rusty colored one.
The guys are still learning to build fires with flint and steel or with bow and drill, as seen here.
Trader's row was about the busiest place on the first day. I finally ran into the boys and leaders from our ward here when I could not find them in their camp site - which was a good thing. And what an array of outfits!
And the boys from our Varsity Team won! They won the Dutch Oven cooking in the Main Course event. I had helped coach them about what was expected and some of the things to do in order to win and they cooked up a great meal and with some singing and a great presentation on the plates to the judges, they took it home.
