Inside the El Tovar, waiting to go in for dinner.
We ate here with the kids in 1987.

The rising Full Moon over Mather Point.
One of the good things about camping in the NP is being able to easily attend the ranger talks.
We are waiting for a talk to start about the moon and how it was used by
various cultures from before Christ to modern times. This talk is given the nights around every
full moon. Notice the moon rising up over the rangers head.

The wind picked up and the temperature dropped during the talk.

This group of kids are on a tour. They have to keep the bags over their heads until
they reach the canyon viewpoint. With all the laughing and joking they stopped traffic
for a couple of minutes while they crossed the main road.

A Mule Deer eating along side the road.
They are not afraid of us, usually are looking for a handout.

This elk was eating the grass in front of the El Tovar the night
we ate there.
My battries were too low for the flash to work!
