I only remember once when on a trail with him that he took the lead. He took a few of us to show us dinosaur tracks in an area near his house. The "normal" 4x4 trips I did with Butch usually featured a discussion of who would go where in the trail lineup-there might be a back and forth about who would go last, but it seemed Butch always won.I'm saddened he has left us and I know this hurts worse for his family, but I will always think of him driving that beat up Toyota pickup with its 4 cylinder engine, huge tires, and gearing that could embarrass any of us in the desert when he chose to! He was a great guy and a good friend. I hope to meet up with him again when my time here is up. - Bill Hughes Printable Page Add Picture Add Tribute/Condolence PLEASE NOTE: Pictures and Tributes will be reviewed before being posted.
