2023 Great Basin Rendezvous

September 8^th through 10^th, 2023

Come join your fellow geologists, drillers, consultants, and their families at Camp Lamoille in the beautiful Ruby Mountains of Elko County for our Eleventh time around!!

Mark your calendars now for the 2023 Great Basin Rendezvous (GBR) being held September 8 through 10, 2023! This year, we return to Camp Lamoille in the beautiful, glaciated Ruby Mountains metamorphic core complex. After the devastating 2018 fire that destroyed the Whipple Lodge building and scorched the camp, the GBR was moved to the Wilson family’s Royal Peacock Opal Mine in the Virgin Valley where Julie Wilson (mine owner) spoiled us for the last three years.

While the enclosed Whipple Lodge was consumed in the fire, the original stone foundation and chimney survived to support the building of the current open-air pavilion with ten tables. A restroom/shower house is newly remodeled and has three showers per side (men/women), with ADA-accessible toilets. There are plenty camping areas for tents and there are 14 RV spaces with power and water hookups.

This year’s field trips, hikes, and/or other activities are still being worked out, but we do have a commitment from the Celtic folk band Southwind to entertain us Saturday night, as in the previous three years at the Camp Lamoille GBRs. Southwind has always gotten us up kicking and clogging!

We are thankful that every major dinner and breakfast will be provided by our generous sponsors during the Rendezvous!
