Since a few of us showed up to the Desert Rendezvous and had a good time, I thought I'd post this public and free ($2 per vehicle) event which is the fall version! I'm not organizing this event, just attending, so if you have questions, send a message to the organizers on Expedition Portal.
Here is the orginal link: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/64995-SoCal-Mountain-Rendezvous-2011
SoCal Mountain Rendezvous 2011
DATE: Friday and Saturday nights, September 24th and 25th 2011
LOCATION:
Camp Tahquitz, near Big Bear, CA
640 acres at an elevation of 6,500 ft
Directions
The Camp is located along State Highway 38, approximately 25 miles between Redlands and Big Bear Lake. From to Interstate 10 Freeway in Redlands, take the Orange Avenue exit and go north to Lugonia Avenue/Hwy. 38. Turn right on Lugonia and follow the signs to Angelus Oaks/Big Bear. The camp is six miles past Angelus Oaks.

Comm Plan:
CB: Ch 38 for calling
FRS for short range Ch 3 tone 8
The Vision:
1. Come as you are!
2. Laid Back: No schedule other than the date.
3. Mountain Man Rendezvous meets Overland Meet and Greet.
4. Swap Meet: Bring things to trade or sell or barter (this is NOT a commercial event!).
5. Meet People: Network, maybe teach each other a few things and check out cool rigs.
6. Real Fireside Chat: With a real fire. Share food and beverages of your choice.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Camp belongs to the Long Beach Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is a PRIVELEGE and an HONOR for the Portal community to be allowed use of this world class BSA Camp.
All that they require of us is a $2.00 fee for each vehicle for the weekend, and a signed hold-harmless agreement from each vehicle. Dogs must be on leashes and cleaned up afterwards. That's it!
The Ground Rules:
1. Common Sense.
2. Respect for Others.
3. Self Sufficiency.
4. Tread Lightly.
5. Leave it better than the way we found it!
6. Speed limit in camp is 5 mph, strictly enforced for safety (kids, dogs). Make no dust.
7. Quiet time in camp is 1200 midnight. Non-compliant over-consumers will be snatched up by camp ninjas and confined to their sleeping bags via duct tape and nylon rope and released at 0800
- The intent is to be inclusive and promote max participation - this means family friendly, dog friendly (supervised/common sense), and we won't turn anyone away for AZ or NV plates so long as they bring food. (J/K)
- Please note well in advance that this will NOT be a commercial event. Bring your own food and water. Bring your own toilet/shower gear. Pack out all your own trash!
- Please note that the basic concept is an overnight meet and greet and, while all are welcome, this is NOT a toy hauler/quads/trailer queen/rock buggy/'wheeling event (See Tierra Del Sol, Glamis, Hammers etc for the "party" atmosphere) - this is family friendly camping in the desert and will be quite mellow.
- DISCLAIMER:
A. COME PREPARED - SELF SUFFICIENCY (VEHICLE AND SELF) AND THE CAPABILITY TO TREAD LIGHTLY WILL BE THE ONLY REQUIREMENTS TO ATTEND.
B. YOU ASSUME ALL LIABILITY FOR YOURSELF. PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
C. WE REPRESENT THE PORTAL COMMUNITY AND WILL ADHERE TO OUR COMMUNITY STANDARDS OF CONDUCT.
D. ANYONE WHO CANNOT WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE. _________________ 1986 Westy - Billie Jean
