We recently retired and have decided to document some of our adventures and hobbies as we are filling our time. We will take you along on our adventures and hopefully inspire you to get out and explore the sights and scenery near you.
Quite a bit different scene from the 150th anniversary of the driving of the golden spike out there on May 10th, 2019. It was very crowded with over 23,000 people out there. In your view from about :41 to 1:03, the fields in the background, from the near sagebrush to where the hills started, far off, were probably close to 10,000 vehicles! It was pretty nuts out there. I'm glad I can say I was there on that anniversary, but I don't ever want to be there with that many people again. I'll be 95-years old when the 200th anniversary rolls around, so I guess I won't be able to make it. Your experience was more normal and enjoyable.
I can't even imagine that many people there! The roads aren't big! You need to make another trip there when you can actually enjoy the visit. I gather you enjoy everything trail related, have you tried the Ogden Union Station? You can even climb on the trains there.
@@TimeOnOurHands-Francis Oh yes, I have been to Ogden Union Station a couple of times. They do have some amazing pieces in their collection. And I have been to the Golden Spike park 3 times. I love it much better without the huge crowds. On those "normal" days when there are fewer visitors, it is much easier to imagine what the area was like in 1869, plus to enjoy the locomotives and the exhibits. I'd love to go back to both places. Thanks for your recommendations. 🤠👍
