Pinedale, WY: Gateway to God's Country

[Moody]

Hilary's Uncle lives on a small ranch in Pinedale, WY. After Hilary hearing about how much I fell in love with Wyoming on my previous trip, we decided to go spend one last week up in WY before the school year started again. Brett took us out to a lake which we had to ourselves for nearly the entire day. We met up with some great friends the Law's. I will let the photos tell the story...but let me tell you-it was pretty much the business.

It rains up there...heavily on occasion:

What better place to kill some time?

Your nice photos, an interesting perspective, including history and 'sites' in many of your threads, and just the overall tone and apparent fun of your trips makes them appealing to me through my computer screen. Enjoyable 'family' trips and adventures. Love it when you have time to post.

Fear not, any thread initially authored by you is not to be missed.

Sometimes I call it not Gods country but the Devils country! The rain, sleet, hail, snow, bugs, wind & ect is why! I have seen the temp drop nearly 50 degrees in 15 minutes down there and go from sunshine to snow in the same amount of time! Not that it doesn't happen up here in JH too it just seems more dramtic and or drastic down around the Winds.

Keep those secret spots secrets though....some of us up here in Disneyland like to escape the tourists from time to time!

Just got back from the Pinedale area today, truly is Gods Country. Went to Green River Lakes yesterday, not 1 other person there. Went to New Fork Lake the day before, not a soul there. Fished on the Green River for 3 days and never saw another fisherman...There was snow on the Mountain Tops and the quakies still had a few leaves. Absolutely beautiful!

Sometimes, it's the only thing that gets me through the day. It's inspiring; a reminder to wake up and get outside.
