Pinedale is an important outfitting town and a gateway to the Wind River Mountains(BS). It is also near several large natural gas fields, including Jonah Field aka home of the rig pigs. Other attractions include the Museum of the Mountain Man. Pinedale used to be a beautiful place filled with peaceful tree hugers and important rich people. It was soon turned over to the gas fields. It has now turned into a terrible polluted peace of crap, where all the people are ass holes. Becuase of the oil fields we turned our county into a monarchy. We elected a young girl by the name of Mariah to be queen. We also have had the first out break of west nile, and the bird flu to reach the united states.
