Default Any towplanes near Big Piney, WY?

Thanks for the info. I managed to find a tow pilot at Pinedale, but he
didn't have a towplane to tow me with. Towplane from Logan came around
5:30pm, and I made it back to Logan safely. I missed a day, but it
wasn't too good a day, so I didn't have much regret.
While waiting, the area was hit by a storm with heavy rain and 40+ kts
of wind. Luckily, the airport had a huge hanger and they were kind
enough to let me put my glider in it.

Another pilot landed out on Antelope Run which is just 15 miles north
of Big Piney. I heard that there was nothing there, and he had to
sleep in his glider. I guess I had a lot of luck this time.
