Moon Rise over Dezdeash

Last night on our way to the fair in Haines Alaska we stopped and camped overnight at Dezdeash Lake. We were enjoying the fire when Chris looked out over the lake and said what’s that? We walked out of the trees to the lake shore and watched the moon rise over the mountains. We were very surprised at how quickly the moon changed position. This launched us into a very interesting discussion about the movement of the earth in the solar system.
