We had stopped at Riverton on US 26/287 primarily for Bob to fill a prescription since the town had a Walgreens, but the pharmacy didn't have a supply of what Bob needed, so we had to change route and go to Casper the next day. We had stayed at the Wind River RV Park, and it was one of the worse ones. Units were doubled up, there were extra charges for everything, including showers (which we don't use since we have our own, but this was the first time I had seen a charge for use of the park showers. It was 50 cents for 3 minutes and a quarter for every minute after.). The town's biggest claim was "The 1838 Rendezvous". We had seen a historical sign for it, and went to see what it was. We were led down a rutted dirt road that ended at a private ranch with no other information. Later, we found a brochure that explained the mountain men would gather yearly at a predetermined spot where they had buried supplies for the return trip, and Riverton was the "randavouse" spot in 1838, where "plenty of trade, whiskey and white women" would be available. Interesting is that by 1838, the fur trade had pretty much ended due to diminished supply of beaver and demand since men's hats were then being made of silk. The town still celebrates the rendevous annually starting June 30 through July 4th with seminars on beaver trapping/skinning, frontier cooking, and tomahawk throwing among other frontier skills "related to the mountain man era".
