Holy ground


On the way down to BYU we made a brief stop in Ogden.



We went to see the rebuilt Ogden Temple. It was really pretty.

 




We got in line for the open house, but the line was ridiculously long -- from the Tabernacle out through the fence onto the sidewalk, and then wrapping a quarter of the way around the (very large) block.






After we'd been in line for a few minutes, a volunteer came down the line and said that there were too many people, that the weren't letting in anyone who didn't have a reservation. We didn't, so we just walked around and took a few photos and then got back on the road.




The fountain, with Mount Ben Lomand in the background.



The Tabernacle; they removed the steeple that used to be on it.




The following day, I stopped by again on the way home. This time the line was short, and I was able to see inside, as well as take a few more photos.




Is this the original cornerstone? Or did they make a new one, with dates matching the original, to have the stone match?
