Sundance

November 3, 2016

It was early afternoon when we arrived in Sundance. We checked into the Rodeway Inn for two nights.

Sundance is a town in Crook County. The town is named for the Sun Dance ceremony practiced by several Native American Indian tribes.

However, I know it from the movie, ' Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'. The Sundance Kid was a real person. After his release from the town jail in 1888, Harry Longabaugh, an outlaw and member of Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch, acquired the moniker, "the Sundance Kid".
