From Vernal, Utah: The Lighted Man

[BeanMan]

Any of you Basonites ever hear of Claudius Banks? He's kind of a legend in Steamboat Springs where I've spent a bunch of time. We were in Steamboat visiting my Parents last weekend and went down to watch the Winter Carnival events on Howelson Hill. Kind of a small town show but pretty cool.

I have never of heard of Claudius Banks
but I have heard of Claudius Dallas.
He's kind of a legend in Northern Nevada.

?Bloody, bawdy villain! Remorseless,
treacherous, lecherous, kindless villain!?

I think not... more folk hero.

Interesting story about the Banks. I was up there for the weekend too, first time for winter carnival. The lighted man and ski jumping through the ring of fire were cool. Skiing wasn't that great though.
