> 	Summer Gathering of Mountain Men
> 	AUGUST 23 & 24

> 	Relive history by traveling back to the time of Isaac Graham,
> 	the mountain man who settled in the Santa Cruz Mountains in
> 	the 1830s. Visit Roaring Camp's summer gathering of wild and
> 	wooly mountain men. Wander through the wilderness encampments,
> 	as the colorful and hardy lifestyles of early trappers are
> 	re-created. Watch frontiersmen perfect their skills while you
> 	chow down on a Chuck Wagon Barbecue lunch from noon to 3 p.m.

> The Roaring Camp steam train runs up the mountain at 11:00am,  
> 12:30pm, 2:00pm and 3:30pm. I'm not sure if they still do it, but

> $19/child (2-12 years), and tickets are available on-line.  Parking
