A short history lesson today, copied from the "History of the Alaska Highway" Dawson Creek Visitor Guide. I have typed the separate paragraphs in different posts because of formatting issues.

About Us
- Pat & Barb Pintus
- May 3, 2011 finds us back on the road for six months, headed for the Northeast and the Canadian Maritimes. As of September 2008 we now are full timers in our motorhome. We plan to see as much of the North American continent as we can. When we are not traveling in the summer, we will make our home in Star Valley, WY where we have an RV lot. Here we are able to play golf, fly model airplanes, quilting, line dancing, dance parties, play cards, swim and four wheel in the mountains. Star Valley is located just 50 miles south of Jackson Hole, WY and we are surrounded by mountains. The temperatures here are very comfortable for the summer. Winter is a different story and that is why we won't be there. Way to cold for us although Barb does like the winter snow so we will probably find some now and then.
