Climbing Devils Tower Devils Tower is one of North America’s finest free climbing areas. Hundreds of parallel cracks divide Devils Tower into large hexagonal columns, making it an ideal destination for traditional crack climbing. There are several different routes to the top. Visitors wishing to consult experienced Devils Tower climbers can check in at the building on the west side of the paved parking lot. You may also contact the climbing office by phone at (307)467-5283 x632. Registration is free and required for all persons planning to climb or scramble above the boulder field. Registration ensures climber safety, documents use of the Tower as a climbing re- source, and becomes part of a historical database that has been maintained since 1937. Most climbers choose to self-register. This can be completed at the kiosk in the center of the paved parking area. You may also register in the climbing office, Visitor Center, or administration building. There are several professional guides that will supply equip- ment and guide you to the top. Some of them can be contacted at www.towerguides.com or www.devilstowerclimbing.com.

20 SUNDANCE WYOMING 2017 VISITORS GUIDE & BUSINESS DIRECTORY | SUNDANCEWYOMING.COM The real Story of Potato Creek Johnny A local legend passed down through the families in Crook County.
A prospector drifter from Deadwood John Perrett, later known as Potato Creek Johnny, had been seen walking to Sundance on a regular basis. One day after Johnny had left town, it was discovered that an Indian residence near Sundance mountain had been ramsacked, the floors were tore up, and the owner murdered. About a week later word came from Deadwood that Johnny had found a huge Gold nugget in Potato Creek, which was curious because there was no gold ever found before then or since then in Potato Creek. Johnny earned the nickname Po- tato Creek Johnny and was never seen in Sundance again.

Meet Amos Robinson Amos Robinson was a businessman who opened up the Wyoming Mercantile in Aladdin. In 1896, Amos Robinson opened a saloon in Beulah, where Ed Ross was already running a successful saloon. Robinson was enjoying a game of High Five when Ross came in a sat next to him and started to count his score Robinson remarked “Mr. Ross we are having a sociable game and I propose to the counting myself you have no right to interfere, at this instant Ross took Robinson by the ear and gave it a twist at the same time slapping him in the face, remarking “you think I can’t count, you d-—n son of a b—-h. Nothing was said after that and at the end of the night Robinson offered drinks. After closing up Robinson was outside of his establishment and a confrontation started between the two, shots where fired, Robinson went to the neighbors porch and told him “I think I’m done for”. Ross told them to get the sheriff and said that he “Shot the belly off old fatty Robin- son”. Ross was sentenced for life and then was paroled 8 years and 3 months later. AMOS ROBINSON BOGO FREE!
