Sorry Frank, but I prefer to stay to myself. I'm asking about the rendezvous out of curiosity. I just can't bring myself to go. I always like to see pictures. If I remember correctly there are speakers, who are they this year. Does Clay show up. Are there better discussions face to face than on tnet.

Haven't heard who the speakers are, but despite the topics always being interesting they pale in comparison to the side conversations and just general "hanging out" with people and talking during the day - both in small groups and one on one. In short - if you come just for the speaker portions at night you're missing 95%+ of the Rendezvous experience.

Clay hasn't been there for a couple years now - haven't heard if he'll make an appearance or not this year.

I've never seen any "TNet type" conversations develop if you mean disrespectful, antagonistic, etc... Not to say they haven't happened but I don't remember seeing one. People tend to be a little different in person than they are with the anonymity of the internet and faceless keyboard.

Gary,

Welcome to TNet and you will be more than welcome at the Rendezvous. If you need more information, just ask.

Good luck,

Joe Ribaudo

Good afternoon Gentlemen: There will be a program this year on Saturday night. Wayne Tuttle will most likely chime in soon with the details. We do discourage dogs at the camp but if you must bring one then please keep it at your camp site and do not walk it around the camp. Some people do get bother by them. Also, sometimes, it can get fairly hot in the afternoons which is not fair to your pets. Toilet paper will be provided at the bathrooms. Bring your own firewood if you want a camp fire. Please clean up your camp site before you leave. Do not fire off any fire arms in or around camp. The Forest Service frowns on it and remember the Dons Club leases this property from them. The gate will be opened Friday morning. Remember, Have FUN!! and enjoy those private confidential conversations around the individual camps sites. Cordially, Gregory E. Davis, Dons of Arizona

Bring TP. Usually someone is serving some kind of beans. This causes a rush to the John. The bigger the rear end the more TP used. Thus it runs out fast.

 

[Ellie Baba]

Out in these parts "tp" is also known as "mountain money". You'd pay any one good money, if'n you had to clean yourself with desert flora, leaves, rocks, etc.

I've watched all those video's you guys have made. Keep up the good work! I was just up near Spring Valley a few weeks ago dry washing a claim. I have a lot of friends that live up there. I found a few nuggets not long ago. I'll see if I can post them later.

That picture right there shows what it's all about.
Wish I could be there again this weekend, but the boss and bank account both say no.
Have fun guys and gals and be safe.

Here are the two small nuggets I found in the Las Guijas mountain range near Arrivaca, AZ. This is close to the Mexican Border. They had a lot of rain this summer down there so I went to an area I've found small nuggets before and I found these in about ten minutes of searching. An old beat up Gold Bug II was what I used. I've dry washed this small ditch before with no results it just contains nuggets only and dry washers sometimes miss nuggets. Found that out the hard way!

The one is shaped like a woman or Mother Mary.

I wish I could find where these nuggets are coming from and where the concentrate below!

It's the gift that keeps on giving!

It's saying go to the left and follow along a winding wash or trail follow the small Pigs head just below the right of the larger one.

Smaller is better.

It has the multi-stacked head monuments and smaller shadow pointers which is a nice Pork Rhine, I mean Pork find! It's not a very long distance to the next marker according to the Porky.
At least that's my personal opinion I may be wrong...

I've gotten lost following pigs before...they usually steal my lunch!
