[@billfeld5883]

Things are a little different than 40yrs ago, too winter in a tee-pee is a very dangerous thing to play in Wyoming!!!!

I don't know what to tell you! I'm only documenting what is going on!

[@BruceMurdock]

Slow your panning!

This is not a true primitive "Rendezvous "

[@theoverlanddiarieswyoming]

Nothing is like it used to be. But, I'm glad they still do it!

[@outlaw_greaser]

Do you know where I could find one

[@theoverlanddiarieswyoming]

I am sorry to have to say that is far from what a real rendezvous was like, especially one on the original Green River site. At least in the first half of the video, it looks much like a modern county fair, with all the food truck, modern trinkets and modern tents. This gives a very poor representation of what should have been a much more authentic, historical representation of a real mountain man rendezvous. As a reenactor ( for over 37 years) and living history historian, this is very disappointing. The end of the video, is where the real representations of the times was being shown and was more authentic and representative of history....that was well done. The event staff should not allow the carnival atmosphere shown at the beginning to take part at such events, it takes away from the feel of history the real reenactors were trying to display.

Your assumption is correct, I have spent a couple summers in the area in the past few yrs and was sorely disappointed in what was there, its just a tourist trap now days

[@theoverlanddiarieswyoming]

I'm sorry. I'm sure is not what it used to be. I'm just documenting it!

My dear, you did nothing wrong. The frustration lies with the event and organizers themselves. Those who participate in "rendezvous", the reenactors or "buckskinners", gather in order to maintain and preserve a particular standard. It may not always be a time-machine experience, but they do try. In this case, blacksmiths wearing cowboy hats and plastic glasses, food trucks, swap meet conditions, etc. immediately adjacent to those buckskinners trying to portray a pre 1840 experience is absurd and, to a point, disrespectful. These modern vendors are there for profit. Buckskinners pay to camp in shelters, clothing and gear that is very costly to acquire. By nature, they are almost always willing to engage with modern visitors and answer questions. What they should not be expected to do is accept being relegated to a sideshow act as part of a "street fair". Your documenting of the event actually served to show everybody what is actually happening. Those of us who know how it should be can point to all of this as proof that the more you add to an event in order to acquiesce and change, the lesser the quality becomes. It's the Museum of the Mountain Man, not the museum of the county fair. You did a great job reporting and videoing.
