At Knolls, Utah (I-80 Exit 41), is a memorial to Frank M. Peasnall, senior, who served in the Air Force. It sits on a long, narrow mud flat situated between the eastbound lanes of I-80 and the old highway, now an unmaintained road leading to a recreation area for off-highway vehicles (dune buggies and the like).

I first noticed and photographed the memorial during my Utah trip of October 2006. At that time its inscription was easy to read: "In memory of Frank M. Peasnall, 1935-69. USAF." Subsequent photos document the memorial’s sad deterioration due to weathering and lack of upkeep.

This view is eastward.
