quote:

Known as the "Salmon River Caveman," Richard Zimmerman lived an essentially 19th century lifestyle, a digital-age anachronism who never owned a telephone or a television and lived almost entirely off the land.

"He was in his home at the caves at the end, and it was his wish to die there," said Connie Fitte, who lived across the river. "He was the epitome of the free spirit."

Richard Zimmerman had been in declining health when he died Wednesday.

Sanity -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/23/2010 7:20:01 PM)


I never met him but a fellow I know who mentioned it to me today said he spent some time with the man occasionally, said he was doing chin ups at 85 years of age. Played a pretty good guitar, too.

Seems a shame his survivors are going to bury him someplace other than where he chose to be.




MasterG2kTR -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/24/2010 7:58:38 AM)

Cool story.....thanks for posting!




Sanity -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/24/2010 9:21:36 AM)


He doesn't have any relatives here, and they can't bury him by his homestead on the river. I guess they could bury him in the tiny little town of Salmon, but why bury him there when all his kin are back East?

Thanks for the link, Sanity; looking at the pic of the caves, they're not as "glamorous" as I had imagined them to be [:)]




Sanity -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/27/2010 5:19:23 PM)


You know what they say... when you sleep with the hermits, you get what you get.




DarlingSavage -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/27/2010 5:19:45 PM)

How glamorous did you expect a cave to look? Maybe something like this?

I love the sculpture.

It matches my mood.




Sanity -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/27/2010 5:41:53 PM)


If you're on the right drugs I bet Dugout Dick's caves are that nice. [;)]




Sanity -> RE: Dugout Dick (4/27/2010 6:24:36 PM)


The morning after, with a pounding headache:
