Kaycee
Nestled just off of I-25, 340 miles North of Denver, lies the tiny
historic community of Kaycee, Wyoming. When you think of "cowboy" and
the "old west", you should have little trouble picturing Kaycee. A
simple drive along any dirt road is a filled with historic treasures
such as - Butch Cassidy's Hole-in-the-Wall; the site of Nate Champion's
historic shootout during the famed Johnson County Cattle Wars; or
perhaps the last fight of the proud Northern Cheyenne Indians at the
Dull Knife Battle shortly after Little Bighorn. But the locals have
many more stories to share, perhaps not as famous, yet certainly as
intriguing and often even more entertaining. Don't be surprised if you
ask an old-timer about an incident in history only to have him jump
into a cowboy's poem
