Conservation Group Wants Special Protections for Adobe Town
ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo. - A Laramie-based conservation group asked the Wyoming Environmental Quality Council to approve special designations to protect approximately 180,000 acres of Adobe Town, a unique formation of rocks, cliffs and spires in southwestern Wyoming.
At the turn of the 20th Century, Robert LeRoy Parker and Kid Curry _ better known as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid _ used the badlands of Adobe Town to hide fresh horses, including those used to rob a Union Pacific train at Tipton in the summer of 1900. - More at Casper Star Tribune
