Yesterday was hiking the backside of Timpanogas to Stewart Falls, then down to @SundanceResort incredibly green for this time of year in #Utah. All a good warm up for adventures in the mountains of #Kosovo.

Spent a part of yesterday at @SMofA enjoying our friend’s entry in the annual quilt show. Springville Museum of Art a gem always worth a visit. Took in the rest of the collection while there. Highlights for me:

This would fit right in with #Finland’s weird sports - indoor axe throwing!!

Spent a great evening with family up Box Elder Creek renewing old bonds. Forgot how much I miss the perfect Utah summer evenings. Thnx, all, for a fantastic reunion.

#Ogden became the country’s crossroads, bringing amazing economic growth, along with serious vice. We spent the afternoon touring Ogden’s #UnionStation and 25th Street, once a thriving business district that was in shambles when I left town. Great revitalization now.

#railroad is a huge part of #Utah history and the area where I grew up. Yesterday took the family to the site where the golden spike was driven to complete construction of the transcontinental railroad. That changed the world in many ways by laying the route for U.S. connections.

This is what it sounds like - plug your ears.

[Shawn Waddoups @swad2016]

Agree!!!

But it all comes with this warning:

Good to be home for awhile. Decided to take in some of the local culture with family. This is the real deal at the Weber County Fair - appropriate theme for me this year: #ComeHome. #rodeo

The highlight, of course, was the mutton busting! If you don’t know, don’t ask...

That's a good one: "Russia is the only country in the world where Putin won't allow Russians to interfere in any elections"

The National Mall is a gift that keeps on giving. (Too bad I’m not a duck, though).

[Shawn Waddoups @swad2016]

@davidmacdougall Yup - that’s concerning!

Missed opportunity not extending your trains to San Jose by now @SFBART
