Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Can anyone tell me where the "hole in the wall" is?

For some reason I thought it was in Jackson Hole. A fiend told me in was in the Laramie range. Help!

It is outside of Kaycee, WY...

It's a small casino, just north of Webster, WI (or was many years ago).

Booze, beer, gamblin', and of course "blueberry blondes" - ahhhh those were the days.

How about Acme, WY...

which one?

If you are asking about, The Hole in The Wall, in Wyoming, Of Outlaw fame, it is So West of Kaycee WY ? The Hole in The Wall is not really a hole through the Red Wall, but is just a place the Outlaws could push cows from the rim into Buffalo Creek to re-brand and move South out of Wy to Co to re-sell. I used to do Outlaw trail rides to the base of the Red Wall and rode my mule, up 2/3rds of the way. Very rough trail. Lots of Outlaw, Old Indian and Cowboy, History in this area.

Not the actual Hole in the Wall, but the one that was used as a movie set, is on the highway between Spanish Fork and Price, UT.

If you find it I suggest not sticking your crank through it....

BTDT??? Or just guessin???

"Can anyone tell me where the "hole in the wall" is?"

Several places in the mountain West are called "Hole in the Wall" and are so noted on large-scale maps of those areas.

That appears to've been a popular Old West sobriquet � along with several places that the old-timers called "Squaw Teat Peak," which we now see on maps with the polite, family-friendly tag "Squaw Peak."

Which reminds me � several writers have used the old voyageurs' ejaculation "Sacre bleu!" without knowing (I assume) or daring to use the complete oath � "Par lez sacre bleu tetons des saintes!"

Get a teacher of French to translate it for you if you can't figure it out for yourself.

You can probably figure-out the original spelling of Piceance Creek (if you pronounce it right) and � like me � wonder how Bloody Dick Creek got its name.

"For blue nipples lez coronation of the Holy"...........now,what teacher do i go to to explain what that the hell that means????????? Damn french......another reason for why American troops should never be under any foreign command.

But thanx,Ken........i now have a better understanding of the origin of the naming of the Tetons mtn range.

and in north central Phx there is a mtn top that juts upward from the surrounding neighborhoods that was originally named Squaw Teat Peak.
Then PC correctness shortened it to Squaw Peak around the turn of the century (i believe).
Then it was renamed entirely in 2003 because the Navajos and other activist indian groups swore it was still degrading toward them. Renamed to satisfy them........to honor an Arizona native american army lass who was killed in the early days of the Iraq war.......can't recall her last name.
It will always be Squaw Peak to me.......and Google Earth.

Similar situation happened in the east valley (Mesa/Apache Junction) a few years prior to the above.......the old name was Coon's Peak......can't recall what the new name is.

Still there, being rebuilt, but larger...May never get done since it's been remodelling for years now...(although maybe it's done, I haven't been through there in a while)

South end of Abaco Island in the Bahamas. -snicker-

That's the "Glory Hole".

Ken, I fish down in that country and the story told to me ( it might have been the "PC" version... ) was that the first guy to settle on the creek was an englishman named Richard...you see where this is going...his nickname, because of the english expletive, was " Bloody Dick"...

At least thats what I was told...so I'm stickin' to it....

yep

If your talking about Butch Cassidy and the Hole in the Wall Gang, this is it. However it is not a hole in a wall, or a geological formation, and is not a specific spot that you can stick a pin in on a map. It is The Hole in the Wall Country, which is an area of the South end of the Big Horn Range. The whole area from KC to Thermopolis, or a little North of the Casper to Shoshoni highway when it starts getting rough and canyony is the Hole in Wall Country-- and a great elk hunting area. Mountains without many trees. You can see the herds of elk for miles, study them with a spotting scope and figure out how to intercept them (and usually back your truck right up to your kill if you plan it right). A place called Nowood is called that for a reason and is right out in the middle of it all.

Also it was a great place, like the Missouri Breaks, for disappearing in, or moving herds of livestock subversively through and popping out many miles away back in the day.

We hunted a couple of years west of Kaycee near Barnum on the Bar C Ranch. Supposedly the "Hole in the Wall" is on the Bar C Ranch. There is a public land camp ground next to the "Outlaw Cave". Lot of history in that are, pretty interesting. Kaycee has a small museum and a Hole in the Wall Bar. Pretty country.
