Drove from Hurricane, Utah, through Panguitch, UT, to Red Canyon & Bryce Canyon. Pretty long drive. There are parts of Highway 15 in Utah that have an 80 MPH speed limit, so that means you go 85-90....makes quicker work of it all. It's a pretty valley for most of the drive. There are the Prophet billboards, with a number to call to help you make it through Armageddon. You know, typical stuff.
Eventually, you wind up on Highway 89, which is just a beautiful and scenic road for hundreds of miles.
Here's Panguitch:
Might be time to watch Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid again. According to this, Panguitch was Cassidy's stomping grounds. We visited the Red Canyon they mention in the article.
Some salesman with a big watch and a big turquoise ring was holding court in the restaurant pictured above. Being the nosy person I am, I was trying hard to figure out what he was selling. He used the words BLM and NPS, and it looked like he was trying to get some local farmers to do something with water or pumping water. Interesting hearing the talk about all of that because NPS and BLM stuff, I think, belongs to everyone???
Anyhow, picturesque little town.
