THE LEGEND OF SIMON GERTIE!!!

This is the weirdest bit of Local History I've ever heard!

In the early 1900s there was a fierce renegade bandit named Simon Gertie!!! And, this guy was a TOTAL jerk!!! He was constantly DRUNK, never bathed, smoked like a chimney, and killed random people in barfights. He also robbed stage-coaches!!!

He lived in a cave now called "Gertie's Notch", now here's the weird part, it looked JUST LIKE HIM!

He actually lived in a cave that looked like him!!! How Skeletor-esque! It was a total coincedence too, the NATURAL formation of the rock just happened to look like his face!!!

And, of course he kept all the stuff he stole, all his booze, etc. in there.

Anyway, eventually sombody shot him.

BTW, Here's something cool, Grandma took me to Gertie's Notch last weekend and showed me a picture of Simon Gertie in a local history book. And, it really does look just like him!!!
