2nd Annual Santa Fe Trail Rendezvous Winter Encampment Jan 31-Feb 7 2022 - Raton New Mexico

Lots of prizes, including caps and powder, a gorgeous 50cal flintlock raffle ( multiple prizes to be won! ) a ton of shooting planned. Knife and tomahawk competitions daily. A rough country trail walk has already started going up! Daily blanket shoots.

I know some think this will be a freezing cold event, and it could be! Last year, we had many days well into the mid 50s where a long sleeve shirt was only needed. Be prepared for the worst. Mountain men didn't have hotels they could check into when the weather was bad, so play the part, and live like they did for a week! Actually, you'll be living in a lot more comfort than they ever did!

Plenty of seasoned firewood on site and easy access to fresh drinking water and hot showers should you need one.

Should we get snow, I will be plowing with an atv to keep the main access road free of snow and mud.

Traders are welcome as always!

Should snow/mud be present, we will not be enforcing the PC footwear rule. Please bring warm snow boots. Keeping you upright and your feet warm, is what matters most to us!

If you have prize donations, they will be greatly welcomed!

Please share this with everyone! I'd love to get a nice turn out in 2022!

Porta-johns will also be on site.
