2026 Old West Family, Friends

and Baseball Adventure  

   In the Summer of 2026, I went west to visit friends and family and visit another baseball stadium. On the left, it was great seeing my nephew, Shannon, and my great nephew, Ethan, in Denver. Rollover that image to see me upset that a foul ball almost made me drop my $10 hot dog. To the right, these three generations of women gave me an extra ticket they had to the U.S. Mint in Denver. The three are of Mexican descent and live in Denver. Rollover that image to see friends, Michael (left) and Chris posing with mascot, Saucequatch.

    Below left is one of many statues in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This one honors the Native Americans who cared for the land before it became Wyoming. Rollover that image and see a statue honoring pioneer women arriving in Cheyenne. Below right is me having a delicious Ecuador dinner cooked by Chris's wife, Pia. Rollover that image and see the Mormon Temple in downtown Salt Lake City.

  In the first row below left is mural welcoming visitors to Cheyenne. Rollover that image to see artwork in an alley in Ogden, Utah. In the middle is the first pitch of an Ogden Raptors baseball game with Raptors' Aiden Shumaker pitching to Great Falls Voyagers leadoff hitter, Zach Blaszak, in Pioneer League action. Rollover that image and see the 40th anniversary mural of the Utah Jazz painted in 2018. Right is the Sinclair Oil Dinosaur which appears at their gas stations throughout the west. Rollover that image and see one of the many painted horses throughout downtown Ogden.

  Along the bottom row, on the left is Chris and Pia's daugher, Sofia, reading a great book about overseas travel. Rollover that image and see a statue of Brigham Young in downtown Salt Lake City. He was responsible for the Mormons moving to the Salt Lake City area.

  Below middle is the 126th baseball stadium where I have seen regular season professional baseball, Lindquist Field, in Ogden, Utah, home of the independent Pioneer League's Ogden Raptors. The team has an alternative name, Utah Fry Sauce, which is what they were called that night. Rollover the image and you will see why the stadium claims to have the Best Ballpark View in the World.

   Below right, no trip is complete without the World's Most Famous Traveling T Shirt. Here Aurora, Colorado Hooters servers, Haley and Yanneidis hold up one of the Roaming Hooters T Shirts they just signed. Rollover that image and see another Cheyenne mural honoring Wyoming for being the first state to give women the right to vote.
