Where in WY did you end up?

We had also considered Cody area, but it's a bit too far to travel for some periodic Dr visits I have to visit SLC for.

We're in the Buffalo area. Wife commutes to Sheridan for work.

I went through Pinedale several years ago and stopped at a local store. An older gentlemen worked there and we starting talking. He was the retired school principal, was originally from PA and was from the same town as my best friends dad in PA. Really nice man. I remember it as a really nice and clean small town. Best of luck with your move.

I think I met the same guys a few years ago. Was this at a furniture/sporting goods store? I had a less pleasing interaction with him. Probably mostly because we were buying NR fishing licenses and it was immediately post covid along with the BLM movement madness so he had a few things to tell me about people moving in that weren't really justified.

However, that confirmed that I wanted to move there as I don't have any worry of the town becoming another Park City or similar haha

That was him. Kinda of a weird store. I wanted to take a break from driving and thought I would check it out. He wasn't overly friendly at first but once I got him talking he was ok with me. He taught in Princeton, NJ before moving out to WY and my cousin taught in the same school district in NJ. My parents were teachers in PA and I grew up about 2 hours from his hometown. He knew I was just passing through too. This was all pre-covid.

Randomly stopped in Pinedale for coffee - about the last place you’d expect to find a hipster coffee shop; but sure as shit there was one and it was 10/10 coffee. Pine Supply or something along those lines. It was my favourite town we passed through on a road trip and would love to visit again. I live in small town BC so I love a good anti-outsider vibe, makes me feel at home.

I’m in Buffalo also. Just over a year. I love it. Wife does too. Sorry, don’t know anything about Pinedale.

Figure out what tags you can get as NR so you have something to hunt here this fall and use your pref points if you have any. Last year I drew antelope and got a cow tag off leftover list. Didnt draw deer and left 11 points on the table.

Change your handle.

The Uintas are in WY as well?

Big piney is colder than Pinedale? I haven't ever watched the weather in Big Piney, but they're so close I'd be surprised if it was

When I’m on the winter range La Barge and Big Piney are often 15+ degrees colder than Pinedale. Coldest place I’ve ever been.

Congrats on the move— sounds amazing. Curious how you settled on Pinedale? Did you look in Star Valley at all?
