Thank you for the great photos.

You are welcome. I was very eager to visit. I wish they had the film made public they show on the park website so I could include it.

There's a thread shown under this that has links to more videos.

I've visited the Cairo in the past, but before the interpretive signs had been installed. As a former museum curator and writer of interpretive signs, I'm really impressed with what the NPS exhibit people have done. Very well presented.
