Those of you who read my stories in 4Wheel Drive and Sport
Utility Magazine have probably seen the April and May tales about Pass Patrol’s
posse going into Hole in the Wall near Kaycee Wyoming. Both stories end at the private property
boundary several miles west of the actual site of Hole in the Wall. Although Hole in the Wall is on public land,
it is nearly surrounded by private property and both stories encourage visitors
to respect private property boundaries.
This month I received a phone call from the rancher (Gene) who owns
the land where the original outlaw cabins known as the Hole in the Wall Ranch once stood. The original ranch is within site of the Hole in the Wall passage. He was pleased at our apparent respect for
private property rights, but somewhat disappointed that we didn’t visit with
him to gain permission to enter. I
explained that our time there was short and that we did not know how to reach
him.
