Geocache Description:

Which is it?  If you ask my 7 year old son, it is Paragoooooonah.  This cache is the brain child of my 14 year old son, and cache buddy.  We hope you enjoy the cache, as well as, your visit to our town.


Paragonah was settled by residents from the nearby town of Parowan in the early 1850s. Parowan residents found meadows next to Red Creek that provided ideal locations for farming. The settlement was first known as Red Creek, but the name was later changed to Paragoonah and then Paragonah. There are conflicting sources as to the name's precise meaning, but it is of Paiute Indian origin and apparently is a reference to the water found in the area. Paragonah was incorporated as a town in 1916.

 

This cache is placed at the welcome to our town.  You can park right near it, but will have to do a bit of climbing on some large rocks to get to it.  Should be a pretty easy grab.

Congrats to Ourark on the FTF
