Cassidy & Sundance's South American adventures

A good read on what they actually did while down there. The movie gets their ending right for the most part, but they spent years down there and it's an interesting story.

Thanks. The story generally
Thanks. The story generally matched the movie, but fills in some details.
My dad is an avid Wild West historian and is obsessed with Wyoming (where Butch and Sundance lived) and created and maintains a massive website on Wyoming history and lore. He likes finding obscure old photographs of places in Wyoming and then taking modern pictures from the exact same vantage point. He keeps bugging me and my brother to visit San Vicente - the tiny Bolivia mining town where Butch and Sundance made their last stand (unless you believe the theories they survived and moved back to the US and assumed false identities) - to take pictures. However, its really off the beaten track and it would be a real haul to get there.

I've crossed tracks with them
I've crossed tracks with them down in the Robbers Roost area in southern Utah. Good place to disappear.

I love Wyoming - almost moved there - too damn cold.
Butch supposedly returned to the US and visited his family in southern Utah- then lived out his years in Spokane.

I lived there 87 - 93. Agreed, too damn cold (and windy).

I lived in Casper in the mid 70's. Loved it except for that damn cold snow and ice. I doubt I would like it these days.

There was no strip club in Casper in the 70's. But I was cold cocked in a bar in Casper. My only "bar fight" also.
