1838 Rendezvous site near Riverton, Wyoming

My photos of the 1838 Rendezvous site, near Riverton, Wyoming, where mountain men gathered at the confluence of the Wind River and Popo Agie (now Little Wind) rivers.

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.

The travel bug

 

Traveling is in my blood.

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.

WELCOME

In 1891, this body of water was named Lake Mahpalutah after

Oglala Lakota Chief Red Cloud. When local dairy owner          

  Johnnie Sloan received an 1895 patent on nearby land, people 

began calling it Sloan's Lake. Now it is a popular Cheyenne    

recreational area for boating and fishing.
