Lee the Horselogger is sort of like an eclipse. 

Years might go by without seeing him as he travels across the country, something he has been doing since 2006 and then one day he might show up. Lee said he had come through Carbon County in 20012 and 2018.

He doesn’t give out a surname, but he has been seen and written about for years.
