Old Dugout Dicks

How did they get that cart up on the roof ? and why ? It seems a strange place to put a cart.

It was an old stagehouse, the old coach probably placed more like a sign. This is a very iconic place in my hometown, National Geographic went here and did an article once. Dick may have put it up there to announce his presence from the highway across the river. The sod roof connects to the hillside, more than half of the inside is a cave dugout underground. He'd throw honky tonk parties here.

wow.....thats awesome.....its closed now ..is it?

Incredible. It's good to hear about the history of places like this.

Honky tonk party sounds appealing !

id be up for that party too Valadel....lol

Honky tonk party at Dugout Dicks ------Lets go Sandra :o))

it would be amazing partying in such a great place.......i wonder if GT ever went to one???

Reminds me of the old film Paint your Waggon with Leigh Marvin in it, love the old waggon.

This was that kind of place. :-) I'd been by only once and had to sit in the car. Dick came out 85 even then, 15 years ago. Doesn't look like anyone runs the place anymore. All through my youth I was fascinated by the wagon on the roof passing on the highway.

I LOVE PAINT YOUR WAGON! :-)

So do I , love the song to I was born under a wandering star.: O )

It fascinated me with No Name Town how much more like alaska gold rush it is than California. And Cint Eastwood sings!

i can imagine Clint going to one of the honky tonk parties...lol

:-) He'd fit right in wouldn't he? :-)

Love this GT....so Old West..or Mid West...Did I miss where it is?

Utah/Arizona...i would love to go to a party in there Cat..

This is the hometown, Salmon Idaho. I need to post the town names, I'm not being very consistent. :-) I would give anything for one of those good old honky tonks. This would be a hot spot too. :-)

lol..I kept wanting to think it was Salmon...thanks
