Sunrise... moonset

I left Lompoc California at 7:30 pm on Sunday ( Oct 4 ). Destination,Grand Canyon and other points on the way home to Florida.
I drove (along with my new side-kick, Sadie) about 5 hours, reaching Desert Oasis (East of Barstow) before taking Sadie for her walk and turning in for the night.
We arose with the dawn and continued east, approaching the Colorado River and Arizona just in time for sunrise. Needless to say, it was breathtaking.


After watching the sunrise, we turned for one last look at where we'd been and caught a full moon sinking below the California hills at the same time the sun was brightening up the desert. How cool is that. Sadie gave a bark, looked at me with a charming eye as if to say... wow.


Then it was off to the Grand Canyon South Rim, where we toured for a few hours before heading to Desert View and the East Rim, where we are camping for the night.

More photos to come.
