FALL DOINS - October 9-12, 2025
BLYTHE, CALIFORNIA
As we are assembled at our camp at Quechan Park in Blythe Californa, we shall enjoy the traditional fellowship and entertainment Billy Holcomb and Lost Dutchman chapters are known for. One will find themselves dining on only the finest of cuisine prepared and served at the direction of your most capable Clamp Chef’s Michael “Hawaiian Punch” Poe and Brent Bailey and their crews. One could expect 5 hearty meals for our most infamous cookshack.
Additionally, you will have an opportunity to tour Blythe Ca and the many wonderments it provides. There is opportunities in town to enjoy a cold beverage, visit the Museum and check out the Raceway. For those brothers who arrive on Thursday, you may elect to participate on a 4x4 (Highway Legal Vehicles Only) trek to visit a portion of the Bradshaw Trail. Throughout your time, you will enjoy the wonderful desert views, the flowing river and the occasional shade tree. One may also enter into the 2nd First Commemorative Flotilla Adventure, where you may race with your Brothers on a float down the River. There will be multiple trophies awarded.
Of course, we will usher in the next class of importunable and poor blind candidates who may wish to join our order. They will be ushered into our chapter, should they pass the tests, in the true and gentlemanly way that Holcomb and Dutchman are known for. Bring your PBC’s in to entertain us and provide the merriment we all so desire.
Finally, we will once again, be erecting Monument to the History of Bradhsaw’s Ferry. We will dedicate this double erection on Sunday Morning at approx. 9:30am. Get in your Gold Dust to Cookie via mail or online, and secure your place for this one of a kind, big beautiful event!
