JUNK BOAT TRAVELS: 2024 Road Trip - Day 21 Las Vegas NV to Salt Lake City UT

We were fed, packed up, garbage out, car loaded and checked out by 9:45. Today is a long drive plus we lose an hour. We only made two gas/bio breaks. The drive is straight up I-15 and then 1.7 km off the highway to the hotel!

Bye for now!

The name Panguitch comes from a Southern Paiute word meaning “Big Fish,” likely named after the plentiful nearby lakes hosting rainbow trout year-round.

Paragonah (Iron) is four miles norhteast of Parowan and was first settled on Red Creek in the spring of 1851. The name comes from the Piede Indians, who were a clan of the Paiute Indians. "Paragonah" was their name for nearby salty Little Salt Lake, which means "mashland" or "many springs," with connotations of salty, poisonous, or filthy water. Several variants are listed. Fremont called it Paragoona. Others added an "h."

Good Luck Beaver High School.

Lots of Alberta plates, some Saskatchewan, and we saw one Ontario.
