Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch used Browns Park and Josie Bassett’s cabin as hideouts. If one historical figure still haunted that area to guard an unrecovered stash, whose ghost would you least want to run into in the dark and why?

The World's Largest Fishing Fly sculpture in Dutch John, Utah. If you’ve ever passed through Dutch John, you’ve probably spotted this massive sculpture! Created by Jerry Carlson in the 1990s, it was on display in Logan until 2017, when it was moved to the Dutch John Resort. Officially recognized by the World Record Academy, this piece of modern art has become an eye-catching and memorable symbol of the rich fly-fishing history of Utah.

Curious to learn more about the sculpture's history? You can find more details on the World Record Academy's website, located here: https://bit.ly/4ijAYdq, or the Dutch John Resort website, located here: https://bit.ly/3VNmPMY.

This photo was taken in October 2026. 🎣
