Pinedale’s Soundcheck Summer Music Series kicks off June 29 Pinedale’s Soundcheck Summer Music Series kicks off Saturday, June 29th with a cosmic-country double-bill featuring Utah’s Timmy the Teeth (trio) headlining and special guest Martin Farrell Jr. (4-piece) opening. The evening will start at 5:00 p.m. with a very special presentation by Jackson Hole’s Off Square Theatre whose Thin Air Shakespeare Company will perform selections from Romeo & Juliet! All Soundcheck shows are presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council (PFAC) and take place at American Legion Park in downtown Pinedale. Shows are free to the public and are kid/pet friendly. Timothy George, known musically as Timmy The Teeth, has risen to prominence with a style as authentic as his own character, earning the nickname "Cowboy from the Crypt." Initially known for his skillful drumming with collaborators like Joshua James and Desert Noises, Timmy has now stepped into the spotlight as a distinctive artist within Utah's vibrant music community. His music, a blend that traverses the vast landscape of traditional American tunes, showcases Timmy's unique musical identity. He maintains a playful yet confident tone, touching on universal thoughts often left unspoken. His latest work, "Ain't That Bad," recorded in American Fork, Utah, showcases this blend perfectly. Co-written and produced with Joshua James, this album is a witty and catchy successor to his debut LP, "Just Another Day," solidifying Timmy The Teeth's place in the music world. Martin Farrell Jr. is a Minnesota-born songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer intent on discovering new ways of playing old musical styles. After moving to Lawrence, KS in 2005 he began playing banjo, bass, piano and guitar in local bluegrass and rock groups, eventually fronting his own six piece progressive bluegrass band with drums called Dr. Cotton. After meeting Kansas City based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jenna Rae, the two began writing music together and worked in a six piece country band called Playing for Horses. The couple started performing as a "cosmic western duo" called Jenna & Martin and continued to make themselves known in the local scene. Now Martin is ready to bring his own band on tour in support of his new album "Coffee and Laundry." All Soundcheck shows are free and feature food/drink vendors and a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.

Bridger-Teton National Forest Teton Interagency fire managers announced the fire danger has been elevated to "moderate" for Grand Teton National Park, Bridger-Teton National Forest, and the National Elk Refuge. The potential for fire activity has increased due to summer curing of vegetation combined with warmer and windy conditions. A moderate fire danger rating means fires can start from most accidental causes. Unattended campfires and brush fires have potential to escape, especially on windy days, in dry, open areas. When determining fire danger, fire managers use several indicators such as the moisture content of grasses, shrubs, trees, and dead and downed materials; projected weather conditions including temperatures and possible wind events; the ability of fire to spread after ignition; and availability of firefighting resources both locally and nationally. As the Independence Day holiday approaches, visitors and local residents alike are reminded that fireworks are not permitted in Grand Teton National Park, on the Bridger-Teton National Forest, within the National Elk Refuge, or in Sublette and Teton counties in Wyoming. These fireworks regulations play a critical role in fire prevention. As we approach the Fourth of July holiday, visitors are reminded that personal fireworks are never allowed and that campfires must always be attended and cold to the touch before abandoning. To extinguish a campfire, several gallons of water must be used as opposed to a single water bottle. The process requires you to soak the campfire, stir the ashes, feel for heat, and to repeat the process until no heat remains. When enjoying a campfire, remember it should always remain attended and must be completely extinguished before leaving. Simply pouring water on the remains of a fire is not sufficient. The charred remains must be repeatedly doused with water and stirred into the campfire ring. All embers and logs, not just the red ones, should be broken up and covered with dirt. Before leaving the area, the campfire remains must be cold to the touch. Visit the Teton Interagency Fire website at TetonFires.com to learn more about fire safety and what fire regulations may be in place. To report a fire or smoke in the immediate area, call the Teton Interagency Fire Dispatch Center at 307-739-3630. New WSGS pamphlet shares geology of the South Pass area (posted 6/26/2024)
Pinedale Online! The Wyoming Department of Transportation reported that WY22 over Teton Pass suffered a catastrophic failure that completely destroyed a section of the road and underlying fill material. A "long-term closure is expected," they said. Fortunately, WYDOT personnel had some warning of road issues and had closed the road earlier, so no one was on the road or injured when the roadway collapsed. A crack had been observed in the road surface at milepost 12.8 on Thursday, June 6th. Multiple mudslides were reported along the route recently. A large mudslide occurred early Friday morning at milepost 15 near the scale house, flowing across both lanes of traffic. The road was closed as construction crews were onsite working to clean up the mudslide. The growing crack at milepost 12.8 was an increased concern as it indicated movement of the underlying fill material. Crews were in the process of attempting to create a detour around the road damage area when the slide occurred early Saturday morning, June 8th. No one was injured and no equipment was lost when the road collapsed. There is no estimate for when WY22 over Teton Pass will reopen. WYDOT said, "a long-term closure is expected." Repair will require major engineering work since the entire road surface and underlying fill material collapsed and slid into the ravine below. This closure significantly impacts travelers and commuters driving between Jackson and Victor, Idaho. Drivers will need to find an alternative route and plan for additional travel time. The shortest detour is to travel through Alpine, Wyoming and go through the Snake River Canyon on US 26/89. This route takes an hour and 45 minutes compared to the 35 minutes to travel over Teton Pass. Teton Pass will be unusable for the foreseeable future, likely weeks, possibly months to repair. Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon issued an Executive Order on Saturday, June 8th, declaring an emergency in response to the catastrophic failure of Wyoming Highway 22, Teton Pass. The declaration will help the State access additional resources from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to begin the substantial repairs required. Recreationists and curious residents are being asked to avoid the area until it can be stabilized. WYDOT will share any updates on the status of Teton Pass through its website and social media channels, in addition to the WYDOT 511 app. Next phase of Monument Ridge Vegetation and Recreation Management Project to begin (posted 5/21/2024) BLM proposes No Future Coal Leasing for Buffalo Field Office Management plan (posted 5/17/2024) WY Delegation blasts BLM Wyoming coal ban (posted 5/17/2024) Wyoming sues Biden Administration over Title IX rule changes (posted 5/17/2024) Wyoming files two lawsuits challenging Biden Administration’s EPA Rules that target Wyoming’s coal industry (posted 5/10/2024)
