The area looks nearly the same as in 1830 and 1838 when Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, and other famous mountain men met for the annual fur trade and to re-supply. Annually, a re-enactment of the 1838 Rendezvous brings attention to the history of the area.

I moved around a lot as a kid with my family. As an Air Force Spouse, I moved around with my young children to various places, including Japan.
I've also traveled to other places like Hawaii, where my daughter held her wedding. The Caribbean, Samoa, New Zealand, the Philippines, and many places in the United States.
But Wyoming? I've lived here a long time, and I'm still venturing out to new sites. I have a long list of places yet to explore, and each summer, I try to visit somewhere new.
On a trip to Riverton, WY, I stopped by the Wind River Heritage Museum, which features items from trapper Jake Korell. The displays are amazing, and you'll learn plenty of historical information. Below are a few more pictures of the things you'll see there.

During a recent trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, we stopped by to visit the Crazy Horse Memorial. It's been decades since we've seen it, and it was a pleasant surprise to evaluate the progress made on the huge sculpture. The photo above shows what it currently looks like.
