Cassidy owned a ranch in Wyoming west of Kaycee. Anyway, I was wondering if you could ask around and see if there is any mention of a young british fellow in the area at that time. I'm just trying to get a little history on him. Thanks. My grandfather, Roy Garrett, met Butch Cassidy when he was a young man in Argentina. Cassidy owned a ranch in Wyoming west of Kaycee.

Looked at their Riverside Lodge site and see that the Encampment Rendezvous is held there. Got my Bowie, Flintlock and Buckskins out and they are still in good shape. Keep them put up because I barlely have room for my real weapons. Think I'll watch Jerimiah Johnson tonight . Might try to make Rendezvous. Any more info. on Butch and Sundance would be appreciated. Keep your powder dry. Thanks for the info. on Paxton and Farr. Looked at their Riverside Lodge site and see that the Encampment Rendezvous is held there.

Thanks for the info.I may try to combine that with a Hunting trip to Argentina next year. I never see it mentioned on the blog but Argentina has some fantastic Hunting and Fishing. Along with the great hospitality of the Argentines, the super Steaks and Malbec wine it is truly a wonderful country. Michael Z.

When we stayed in El Calafate, there is a restaurant on the left side of the entrance to Los Glaciares National Park and Lake Argentino. Butch and Sundance took their meals there. I don't remember the name of the restaurant but it's listed at the El Calafate Tourist Information Office. You can't miss the restaurant because a Police Station is right next door to it. Also, when we left El Calafate for El Chaltan by bus, a 200 kilometer trip, at the half way point, the bus stops at Hotel De Campo La Leona, a roadhouse and country lodge. Butch and Sundance lodged there for almost a month in 1905. The lodge is filled with photos and documentation concerning their lodging.

I have many books on the outlaw pair and find this article one of the most interesting I have read. I have some photos of the cabin which I think were taken in the 1930's but thats just a guess. It was in an abandoned condition with the roof coming off along with some damage to the walls. In your picture it is in much better condition although obviously the same cabin. Do you know when it was repaired? Who owns it now? Were there any artifacts found that would connect it to Butch or Sundance? I'll pass on Buenos Aires this year but would love to see this part of Argentina. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are a welcome reprive from the Airport Tax and The Ugly American accusations.

This wine is exported to the USA and the label makes reference to Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. I met Mr. Luis Maria Focaccia, CEO of Bodega NQN and he provided me with the names of the importers in USA. . The webpage is www.bodeganqn.com.ar I enjoyed the article!!!
