A question for Utah residents...

Has anyone seen/visited/toured any of the Butch Cassidy sites, such as his boyhood cabin in Circleville? Does anyone know or have met any of his relatives, the Parkers?

I live in Northern Utah, but have been through the Circleville area several times and I have to say I am embarrassed to admit I have never been to any Butch Cassidy sites. Funny thing about the Parkers is my grandson is in the Navy stationed in Oklahoma city. He surprised us with a fathers day visit and brought his girlfriend from there to meet us. His girlfriend has had very little contact in her life with her Dad and recently spoke to him and found out he was from Utah and that her grandmother lives in Salt Lake. Their name is PARKER! Knowing she knows so little about her family I highly doubt she would know much.

I am originally from that area, and have visited Circleville many times. It is a very small town of about 500 people. The Paiute trail for 4-wheelers goes through the town. The best near-by place to visit is Bryce Canyon National Park. I believe it is about 1 to 2 hours drive. There really isn't much to see of his boyhood cabin. His parents are buried in the local cemetery. This is a very rural town. About 17 miles north there is river rafting, and the "Big Rock Candy Mountain" . There is a nice fishing area nearby.

I know that Linwood is along the west shore of Saginaw Bay near the famed cheeze towns of Piconning and such. It is at the northmost part of the Saginaw Valley and is more continental than most of Michigan. Since that would be a safe zone 5, I'd recommend only a few plants; any flowering plum, or cherry (especially dwarf trees) would be good along with a pussy willow or forsythia. If it was about mid April, the options would multiply significantly. You may want to check with Dow Gardens (in nearby Midland) they seem to have a phenominal selection of plants and would have an expert who could suggest something other than what I just did. A google search for Dow Gardens in Midland, MI would be a good start.

RE: why is Utah diferent?

wiringman, In a nut shell you got pretty close to right. I to live in a small central utah town. Glenwood is its name. 350 people give or take a few. This town welcomes all no matter where you come from. That is why I came here and why I am still here after 21 years. People that come in from other places seem to try and change things to be like where they came from. THAT is a not so good idea. Horses, cows, chickens, sheep, goats ect. were here before they came, so if you don't want them next door then don't come to a small town and think just because you do not want them next door that it will be done. Exceptance is the rule ant do it because I do not like it.

"Will the Hercules sink support system work for a farmhouse sink?" Yes, of course. It was used here and on other apron front sink jobs I've done. beacham is correct in the sense that on a new job such as yours, the cabinet, sink, and countertop would be designed to work together and no HUSH or Sink Strap should be necessary. In new work, I'd prefer the sink be mounted low enough that the sink could be caulked and driven into place with shims after the top was set.

I should mention that, many people who have visited Grand Canyon, Zions National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park, prefer the accessibility of Bryce Canyon. And, it is every bit as spectacular, if not more so, than the others.

Thank you all. Linda, how interesting ! I'm not thinking of traveling to Utah, I'm just researching the life of Butch Cassidy and have two of his great-nephews as Facebook friends. I just think it'd be fun to get some facts from people who have been to the sites or have met family. Or have read the books. Jannor, how interestng to stand there on the property and see the cabin ! I should point this out- although I don't say this to the nephews, the more I research the more convinced I am that Butch Cassidy was actually quite a bad person. Robin Hood, my foot !
