Residents envision Pinedale, Wyoming outdoor school

July 21, 2008

Burnt Lake and Half Moon Lake in the Wind River Mountains sit not too far from two of the biggest natural gas fields in the world -- the Pinedale Anticline and the Jonah fields in Sublette County.

The location makes it an ideal place for a proposed educational program that aims to both train and expose students to a variety of professions in outdoor recreation and natural resources management, officials involved in the effort said.

Mike Kaul spearheads a group of area residents who are proposing to combine the closed Half Moon Lake Resort and little-used Burnt Lake recreation site into a joint educational outdoor facility.
