Thanks, Jim. It was, unfortunately, very very wet. I will post a video of what one of the roads looked like that we were supposed to cross. It was insane.
We wound up focusing the workshop on getting intimate with things. We spent lots of time with the foliage and looking for breaks in the weather. Over-all, I think it was a successful week - but it was with a ton of effort and a pretty understanding group, and I really wish that we were able to get into the back roads. Unfortunately, the things you really want to see are all off of the main park roads. I was particularly disappointed because we did not get to the Temple of the Sun and Moon.

James: It really is too bad the weather didn't cooperate for you, but at least the scenic drive is paved now. Just a couple of years ago even it wasn't. I hope at least the clouds provided some dramatic shots from turnouts along the drive, or was it totally overcast? Did the wild turkeys decide to take a stroll through the campground wake you up in the morning? Also, this time of year the apples should start ripening, so I imagine the deer were plentiful. Here's a link to a short video I took earlier this year of a doe and two fawns.

That has to be one of the most scenic drives in America. Jim
