Friend —
We're closing in on the 9th Annual North American Rendezvous here in Missoula, Montana, and I'm excited. In three short months, we'll be gathered in Missoula, looking back at a year of hard work and planning what's to come. Our team has been hard at work for months already planning seminars, lining up storytellers and working with the Missoula community to make this the best Rendezvous yet.
I took a walk down to downtown Missoula last week with a couple of our staff to scout out the site of this year's Beers, Bands & Public Lands Brewfest in Caras Park. Standing on the banks of the Clark Fork River and looking at our hometown herd of elk wintering on the slopes of Mt. Jumbo, I couldn't have been more stoked to get all our people here in one spot for the premier public lands celebration in the world. We've got characters like Ryan Busse talking bird dogs, conservation icons like Shane Mahoney laying out the future of our great estate, great corporate partners like Alpacka Raft teaching you how to navigate backcountry waters and a whole lot more.
I want this to be the single largest gathering of self-identified public land owners in the country. To that end, we're offering early bird tickets until March 15 with the chance to win a pair of coveted tickets to the Field to Table dinner! So bear down and chart a route to Missoula for June 4-6 to join me and the rest of our community here in the Last Best Place.
Onward and upward,
