If y'all are following the Wilderness female thread, I want to relate a Rendezvous story.
Mail order Brides????????
While back we were at The Villa Louis Mansion in Prairie du Chen, WI
called the Big River Rendezvous.
Fathers day, every year, very large camp 700 + lodges.
On the banks of the Mississippi River, with a couple river boats docked there.
Well it was early in the river boat season, the crew was pretty much collage kids, not much experience.
So about dusk, a dinner cruise boat was trying to dock, good current, crew was having a time getting it to land.
This kinda attracted a crowd on reenactors, mountain men, mo-hawks, soldiers and rif raff of all sorts, walked down to the landing watching the poor crew at work.
As it was a dinner cruise, most all aboard were older men/women...lots more women the men????
As they all crowded on to the landing side, both decks one of the older women, hollered out, "who do you guys think you are, anyway, wild Indians, pirates, bums?"
Large mountain man, long hair, beard, loin cloth, hold up a large tankard of cool aid, hollered back, "We ordered young women, these are all too old, send them back!"
Morel to the story, how picky do ya wanna get?.
