A bit further down the road you take about a 3 mile cut off to Bonneville's fort site. Worth the short hop for a historical spot and site of one of the original rendezvous. From there go west down the Hoback, you'll go through Jackson's Little Hole, and when you reach the Snake River, turn north and go to Jackson's big hole and visit. Then head over the Teton Pass that every mountain man who travelled this bit of the country went over, and you'll drop into Pierre's Hole, now known as the Teton Valley. There's some dispute about where the Battle of Pierre's Hole took place, but following Ferris and Wyeth's description, it's just west of Victor in Pierre's Hole. From there go north to Driggs and continue on. Just past Tetonia, there a "senic byway" that that and you'll go right past Camp Henry on Conant Creek. Our party has "diggin rights" to a nice patch of camas just north of there. This cut off will drop you off in Ashton, ID. Turn right there and go to Island Park and the Yale-Kilgore highway will get you the rest of the way to the doin's. Enjoy the trip, you're going through mountain man country the whole way, WAUGH!

A class on edible plants that are native to the area would be quite useful. Also how to field dress an animal and snares could also be quite useful. There should also be some fiberous plants in the area that could be used to make cordage and if so, a class on how to make cordage. Another useful skill to teach would be how to cook using only primative materials. Just a few other suggestions.

If you are portraying the pre-1840 mountain man era -- don't do dutch oven cooking. It would only help perpetuate the myth. If you are doing mid-period, then perhaps, but that documentation is still far from conclusive. If you are doing Cowboy, and late nineteenth century Sodbuster, then you can be accurate in portrayal with modern camp oven cooking. If you are doing an early reflector or earth banked dutch oven please pardon my intrusion. It is not what most mean when they say dutch oven cooking. Pat is right a rope twisting machine is popular. It gets the kids involved - --hands on. A simple craft project like making a decorated feather or a medicine bag can be done inexpensively and give the kids a real feeling of accomplishment. Eight to Eleven year olds can learn back braiding and finishing of a length of rope: a skill useful for the rest of their life. Teach basic knots half hitch, square, sheet bend, bowline &c. 100' coils of 3 strand twist 1/4" or 3/8" rope are pretty inexpensive. You don't have enough time to do it all. Pick what you can do best that teaches the most. John...

Dealing with kids that age is not my forte', and I was sure some of the guys would have great ideas. My biggest concern was dealing with the attention span of this age group. Don't forget I'm going to be doing an hour's worth of presentation to minds with a 15 minute (or in some cases, second) capacity! In that regard, the Directors of the camp made a specific request that I do some cast iron Dutch Oven cooking, specifically to prepare a dessert at the start of the presentation, let it bake during, then serve it at the end. So it will be. I am not restricted to the pre-1840 period, and my intent is to show, through comparison with modern tools, what was used in earlier times. It is also my intent to focus briefly on wilderness survival, but only as related to fire, shelter and possibly direction of travel. Yes, this all HAS to be PC, but sadly, the 'P' in this case is that disgusting word... politically. ;(. The ideas from you guys re: cordage are excellent, and that will become a part of the presentation, as it is not only fascinating to watch, but can definitely be a hands-on experience for the campers. I am going to make some lucets today, as I feel those will be a great interactive demo. If anybody in the Southern California area has a mechanical winder that I could use for the week, please let me know, and I will make arangements for the pick up and return of it.
