Cancelled due to bad weather BTW.
WHITE SMOKE COMPANY OF BUCKSKINNERS, INC.
Presents the
FRITZTOWN FREE TRAPPERS
MARCH RENDEZVOUS
March 9-10-11, 2012
at the Kline Ranch outside of Huntsville
The Kline Ranch is located southwest of Huntsville and is 190 acres of primo property. The campsite areas are
nestled back in the trees, there is a stock tank near the campsites, competition areas will be shaded, and it is
secluded enough that the only modern day thing you might see will be if you look up.......you might be able to
see a small speck of a 747 on its way to Houston. The only "monkey wrench" is the fact that once you are on
the property, you have to cross a creek and the road that crosses the creek is dirt. The Huntsville area has had a
TON of rain recently which is good for the stock tank, trees and grass, but bad for people trying to have a
rendezvous. If we have a big down pour around March 8th, we won't be able to get back to where we have
planned the rendezvous. While there is a tractor on site, I would just as soon not have a re-enactment of our
October 2011 rendezvous in Lockhart where everyone had to be pulled out!!
The only thing I can suggest is to call Steve or me by Wednesday, March 7th to see if Huntsville has had a lot of
rain or not.
RENDEZVOUS INFO
DATE: Friday, March 9th to Sunday, March 11th. Early set-up on Thursday beginning at 1:30 p.m.
LOCATION: 322 Walker Loop, Huntsville, TX.
From Austin, San Antonio, or any place west, your best bet is to get to Navasota, go east on Hwy 90 to
Anderson. Make a RIGHT onto FM 149 and stay on this. After you go through Richards, you will see a large
sign saying you are "entering Sam Houston National Forest" (you are still on 149). Go 2.3 miles from this sign
and you will come to a crossroad. To the left takes you to Huntsville (FM 1791). To the right takes you to our
house. Make a LEFT onto FM 1791. You will go about 9.5 miles and make a RIGHT onto Walker Loop.
Remember this mileage because you want to pass up the first Walker Loop road. There will be a FFT sign
where you turn. Once you are on Walker Loop, go about 2 miles and the road will be on your right. It is across
from a cemetery and there will be another sign.
From Houston or Dallas - take I-45 to Huntsville, go west on State Highway 30, LEFT onto FM 1791. Sorry, I
don't have mileage from SH 30, but it's about the same as from FM 149. Look for the FFT sign and make a
LEFT onto Walker Loop. See directions above.
COMPETITION: Events Friday as available and Saturday until 3:00 p.m. Rifle Shoot - Archery Walk -
Primitive Archery - Hawk & Knife. Prize donation is requested. Anyone may compete, but you must be a
member to qualify for prizes.
FEES: Membership fee: $10.00 per year

Non-competitor camping fee is $10.00 per lodge.

COUNCIL FIRE: We told Char Cloth and Herb (our cooks) that they would not have to cook, if they would
just attend so that means the rest of us have to come up with food for our Council Fire dinner. Please bring a
covered dish that can be shared by all. Dinner will be at 5:30 p.m. Saturday night, followed by competition
awards, tall-tales, singing, drinking, and the usual rendezvous rowdiness!
See ya in a few weeks!
