Rendezvous along the Palouse River

Palouse Empire Muzzleloaders’ 21st edition of their Rendezvous along the Palouse River at Manning mixed some relaxing scenes with the noise of black powder. Donal Wilkinson helps Wilson Caisley, 13, load a vintage rifle on the shooting range at top left. Alex Harrison of Potlatch is in the back. Dave Benson of Onaway and Kevin Quinn of Spokane, top right, visit in front of the vintage-style camp tents. Clark Sherwood of Lopez Island lines up his pistol, lower left, on the shooting range, and Laila Ives gets some archery instruction from Alez Kassa, lower right. Both are from Spokane.
