Butch Cassidy

When we were in South Dakota they had a huge hail storm and our truck and RV was damaged. The truck had its hood (bonnet) ,roof dented from hail stones. We didn't have time to get it fixed there because we were 3 days from leaving.  Our awning on our RV was also damaged, holes and cuts from the stones along the rolled up edge. We finally got the truck fixed the other day in a little town  called   Circleville   about a half an hours drive from Panguitch. The guy there did a excellent job. Dann was very happy with his work. If anyone is ever in that area its called Daltons Auto Body Shop. After we dropped the truck of we continued into another town called Richfield were we did some shopping and had lunch with Peter and Erika our neighbours who were kind enough to pick us up after leaving the truck at the panel beaters. On our way back to pick up the truck Peter showed us this little beaten up shack that was about 500 meters of the road nestled amongst some green trees.  Found out  it was  one of Butch Cassidy’s hide outs. There are apparently many of these through out Utah. I did a search on youtube for it and found quiet a few including a video a guy made showing us one of these hide outs where Butch left his signature in some rocks where he and his gang were taking refuge under from the law.
