Other top stories for 2005

As we recap 2005, there were several other stories that drew considerable attention and are noteworthy to put in our Pinedale Online Top Stories list.

A wildfire in early October caught just about everyone off guard. The nighttime flames from the Triple Peak Fire in the Wyoming Range could be seen as far away as Big Piney and Pinedale, with many residents calling in the blaze believing it was much closer than it was.

The BLM’s second excavation of the Wardell Buffalo Trap near Big Piney was kept secret for months to keep artifact hunters from looting the site. The trap is of immense historical significance in adding to the understanding of the survival and hunting methods of the prehistoric inhabitants of the Upper Green River Valley.

The last three stories are about the conditions around Pinedale and for the favorite areas people like to visit, and our regular seasonal reports about what was open and accessible.
