Adobe Town Is A Special Place
"My imagination soon has more fodder to chew on -- the surrounding bedrock of compressed volcanic ash, washed down from Yellowstone's Supervolcano days - is a wonderously rich dig site for paleontologists and was a great hideout for outlaw Butch Cassidy and his gang.
Paleontologists have found the remains of ancient horses, camels, woolly rhinoceroses and giant sloths, while archeologists have found ancient campsites of prehistoric peoples.
Northeast of the Adobe Town Rim are the Haystacks, where, according to local tradition, Butch Cassidy and his gang hid their fresh horses, which helped them get away from pursuers, following the Tipton train robbery.
Hide horses? Heck, you could hide an army in these badland formations." - New West Wyoming
