Mountain Man Skills

 March 20th – Sharpen up Your Mountain Man Skills!  
Howdy partners. Would you like to learn skills that the trappers and mountain men used? This is your chance to learn how they lived in the 1840’s. You can sit with Ranger Bruce and make fire with flint & steel, load a 50 cal. flintlock, set traps, and much more. Bruce will be dressed as a trapper and will teach you all kinds of new stuff. Ranger Bruce will have furs, pelts, knives a power horn and all the great things that boys like. Girls are welcome too. So, Moms, sign your boys up to take this class and they will learn how to cook Beaver tail for your dinner that night. Yum! Also Ranger Bruce will tell the Jedediah Smith Story. He was the first Christian mountain man/Trapper to come to California in 1826. He almost didn’t make it because of a mean grizzly bear. So get on your horses and make tracks to this great adventure. Place – Ranger Bruce’s backyard. (Get directions when you sign up) Time – 10:00 – 11:30 - Cost $35.00 per family
