OEMM August 2010 Newsletter


We had a great time at the August Breakfast Shoot. Despite a short delay we finished the shoot and had a great “bean” potluck.

We did get word back from the forest service that we are “OK” to continue holding our shoots up Left Hand as long as we are safe.

September’s meeting will be “Top of Utah” on September 18th. We will shoot our guns to start the race in our mountain men clothes. You need to be heading up Black Smith Fork at 6:00am or earlier (they will close the canyon).
There are a few of us planning on camping up the canyon so we don’t have to be up as early. We will be camping up on top of Hardware just south of the visitor’s center. This will put us really close to the start line. The TOU organizers have asked that we leave the parking lot free for their busses to park in.
Plan on being stuck up the canyon for a few hours after the race begins. The club will furnish breakfast.

If you are planning on being at the TOU marathon and would like a Tee Shirt I need to know the size of shirt you need. Please send me an email or call me with your name and size oemmclub@hotmail.com or 801.336.8062. I need to know this information before September 13th so I can get the right size shirts.

We are looking for a place to hold the Christmas Party this year. If you have ideas please let us know. Also, we are open to having the party catered if we can find a reasonable priced caterer. If you know of one please let us know.

Remember if you are having a hard time opening your newsletter you can always check out the blog at www.cachevalleyrendezvous.blogspot.com

See you at the “TOP OF UTAH”, Mandy

Author Eric Dolin

This author is coming to Logan on JULY 31 2010 @ 2:00pm at the Eccles Center.
He has just finished a book titled Fur, Fortune and Empire.


"From the best-selling author of Leviathan comes this sweeping narrative of one of America's most historically rich industries. Beginning his epic history in the early 1600s, Eric Jay Dolin traces the dramatic rise and fall of the American fur industry, from the first Dutch encounters with the Indians to the rise of the conservation movement in the late nineteenth century. Dolin shows how the fur trade, driven by the demands of fashion, sparked controversy, fostered economic competition, and fueled wars among the European powers, as North America became a battleground for colonization and imperial aspirations. The trade in beaver, buffalo, sea otter, and other animal skins spurred the exploration and the settlement of the vast American continent, while it alternately enriched and gravely damaged the lives of America's native peoples. Populated by a larger-than-life cast-including Dutch governor Peter Stuyvesant; President Thomas Jefferson; America's first multimillionaire, John Jacob Astor; and mountain man Kit Carson-Fur, Fortune, and Empire is the most comprehensive and compelling history of the American fur trade ever written." taken from his web site

Check it out maybe we will see you there!
