Porter Rockwell's house

Over memorial day weekend we went to the sand dunes.  We had heard that Porter Rockwell's home was west of where we were camping, so we took a ride to check it out.  Believe it or not, this was the barn....


And this was his house.  We heard many stories about why this was.  He was a short man, he didn't need it any bigger; he dug the ground floor out of the house a foot so when someone came looking for him he could hide under the floorboards, he made it look like a shed so no one would know that's where he lived.  Regardless, it was very interesting.
 Kate found a frog hopping around.
 This was the area he must have kept his horses, it looked like an arena.  See how tall the fence was?
