2004 Photo Review
by Dawn Ballou, Editor, Pinedale Online!
January 1, 2005

We've received many wonderful e-mails from people in response to our question of "Why I Love Pinedale". Thank you to everyone who wrote and shared their experiences! Upon reflecting on 2004, we felt a photo essay would be the best way to capture some of the moments of 2004. We live in a place that has beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, and a slow-paced western lifestyle that gives us a unique quality of life. We, too, love Pinedale and Wyoming.
