Today was just a relaxing day around camp and the Grand Canyon National Pa
rk. We woke up at day break...thinking it was about 7:00am or so. Alan wanted to see the sunrise over the Canyon, so we hopped in the car and headed toward the rim. On the way, we saw a small heard of elk eating the trees in our campground. Alan's interest was peaked and headed off for a close picture. He was able to get with
in 5 feet of one of them and got a great close-up shot. Surprisingly enough, none of them were afraid of people. We needed to get some more firewood and ice for the day, so we headed into the small town just outside the park. While waiting for the store to open at 8am, we realized that this part of Arizona does not observe Daylight savings time and it was in fact 6:00 am!! The rest of the day was spent 
exploring the rest of the national park and listening to some of the various presentations by the park rangers. In the evening, we sat by the fire enjoying the sunset and the sounds of the many insects and animals. We went to bed early with the intention of waking up early to break down camp and head to the Hoover dam and Las Vegas.
