Just days later, 2 I think, Moroni was placed atop the Oquirrh Mountain Temple as well. Rick drives past this Temple on his way to and from work every day. Photos of it can be found at http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/oquirrhmountain/construction/
As we were getting ready to leave Rick pointed out a guy just sitting there looking at the Temple while drinking something. I said, wow that is really cool. We left the parking lot and drove around to get some photos without the sun behind the Temple. That is when we noticed the same guy walking towards the Temple. When we had been in the parking lot taking photos we also had noticed someone climbing up the scaffolding. We dedicted to take some more photos of these people and then try and call the construction company to let them know people were tresspassing. The construction company had no phone numbers so we called the Draper Police. They were causing no damage so we didn't call 911. I was on hold for what seemed like forever. Probably close to 10 min. I finally got through and was able to report the tresspassing just as the guys were leaving. As you see I was able to get a picture of one of them hoping the fence. (The one who had been gazing up at the Temple just 10 minutes earlier.) Rick drove around as they ran off to a contruction site where they were probably working on a house. Who knows if anything ever came of this but we did give the dispatcher the license plate information for the car they were in.
What an adventure! I know I would like to have been up at the top touching Moroni but you know, that just isn't the way it works.
