Hobble Creek, Springville, Utah in 1989 is the location and date of one of the greatest tragedies of all Springville history. It was in January that the reports of the greatest snowstorm to hit Utah and incidentally Robert Miller and his son Billy went out for a hunting trip down Hobble Creek Canyon. As the first signs of snow began to fall, the manager of Taco Bell found atop of Y Mountain, Martin Shean, sent out an emergency radio wave to all campers to not attempt the climb to Taco Bell. Robert Miller heard this call and decided that it was best they headed to KFC where resided the Great Colonel himself found on the opposing mountain view (on the other side of Lake Utah). This place was of greater ease of access for hunters that did not hunt so well. 

            Billy insisted that he have his daily fix of nacho chalupa. So he darted out into what was then beginning to be the great wall of china (in snow terms). Robert chased after his son and soon found that he was incapable of finding his son. Mulan came out and insisted that Robert go home, it was a lost cause to find his son Billy. Just as Robert was pondering the miraculous event of meeting Mulan in Utah, it began to dawn on him that it was beginning to be dark. He searched all night with only his handy dandy Energizer (insert advertisement, $?) flashlight. 

          One week later, searchers, who were utterly disappointed because Taco Bell on the ridge of Y Mount was completely destroyed from the snow storm, found no trace of Robert or Billy. Another week later, they found Billy's body in a cave. But no one could find the body of Robert Miller.We would then find Mulan in her own feature film sponsored by Disney nine years later.

          It is said for the hikers who pass through Hobble Creek Canyon during the night see a light shine on them and then disappear and whimpering and crying of a young boy. Many say, these are the lost souls of Robert and Billy Miller who never found each other. This could be the lost career of Michael Jordan explained. This may explain the failure of Hanes comfort waist band. But then again, this writer doesn't wear Hanes. So much for Hanes.
