The one several night canoe trip I have taken was way back in 1970, from Lander Wyo to Thermopolis, deleting some of the rapids in Wind River Canyon. It was at high water in late spring. At one place a farmer put a cable across the river. I saw the cable and tried to scoot under it, but it caught my lifejacket, and I swamped the canoe! My sleeping bag got partially wet. Cold, cold cold! I remember picking wild asparagus too. Snowmelt right off the mountains. We then paddled across a large reservoir, pulled out to get around the outlet rapids below the dam, and then put in for a wild ride down the last part of the canyon. On the reservoir, we caught fish using a string attached to an arrow and shot a bow! The fish were carp - no season or permit needed!
