Today was a free day, with no more facilities to visit. So, we passed on breakfast at the hotel and headed Chick-Fil-A for one (each that is) of their egg and cheese breakfast biscuits. They have the best biscuits ever. No wonder they have topped the American Customer Satisfaction Index for over a decade.
After breakfast we headed North on Interstate 15 to Cedar City, Utah. It was a short 52-mile drive, made even shorter by the 80 MPH speed limit. One of the reasons for going to Cedar City was to visit the new National Cemetery. Opened in late 2025, it is small, only about 8 acres, and currently has only 20-25 headstones. There are nice views of the mountains, real grass (unlike gravel at the one in Arizona) and like all National Cemeteries free for veterans and spouses. If we do wind up in Utah, this is where we will be buried.
After lunch we continued North on Interstate 15 to the small town of Parowan, Utah. No particular reason to go to Parowan, except Barb wanted to see it. With a population of around 3,000, there is not much to see. Parowan's claim to fame seems to center on it is the county seat of Iron County, it is the oldest town in Southern Utah and maintains a small town, rural feel. It does the small town really well, which in this day and age means it would be a good place to live.
Back at the hotel it was time to pick a place for dinner. After a half hour or more of back and forth, we finally decided on Sandtown Pizza. Small, not at all fancy, but it was an exceptionally good pizza. After we finished, the young lady that took our order came to give us our bill, using one of those electronic things restaurants have now days. All she said was "Opps, looks like it's free." Apparently, she had pushed the wrong button and just like that the bill was paid. She received a very generous tip.
The rest of the evening was spent packing and getting ready to head home the next day.
