RIP Kris Kristofferson
yo man
100 years ago a man drove into Baggs, Wyoming and visited the Parker homestead. Was this Butch Cassidy? Was it an imposter? Did it happen at all? They say that the infamous outlaws Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were killed in Bolivia or Uruguay in 1909 and are buried there. Yet this documentary says it cannot find any record of any such gun battle. Local authorities will not allow the bodies to be exhumed and examined under modern forensic methods. Due to lack of evidence in South America, or all of it being circumstantial and speculative, there's every possibility one or both did not die there in the manner believed. It's very possible Robert Parker made it back to the USA and survived to 1937. So, who then, was the man seen in the Wyoming/Utah area in the early '20s? Who was the imposter? I'm not going to suggest that Butch faked his own identity by pretending to be an imposter of himself, that's too convoluted. It is known that the Jesse James imposter in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1949 was not James himself. But of all the other legends out there, the Butch Cassidy one of surviving to older age is a very real possibility. It's hard to believe, but it's more realistic than all the others.
FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: cash. If it isn't the car breaking down it's the card(s) getting declined. Can't pay for gas, can't get home. Thank God in free campgrounds/conservation (hunting) areas. I remember years ago I was in Montana, a man asked me for a gallon of gas. His has been broken into and all his money and cards were taken. I filled up his fuel can, but I should have had him pull around and top off his tank. Remember that. Card reactivated, now do I head home or comtinue living dangerously?
