Red River Ramble 2022

Red River Ramble @ Lake Texoma

Red River Ramble

Sat., Nov. 5, 2022
All Saints Camp, Pottsboro

All Saints Camps has become a favorite venue for North Texas orienteers over the decades! Situated on the picturesque south shore of Lake Texoma, this camp includes over 600 acres of wooded, sometimes hilly terrain and an extensive trail network with lots of unique structures. It’s a beautiful venue and a wonderful time of year to be in the woods.
