Moon Pictures!! Grrrr!!!

The D70s should have the capability to do a double exposure. Look in the manual,or check Google. Anyway, in one part of the frame, shoot the moon using the sunny 16 rule or thereabouts and you should get a proper exposure (after all, the moon is in direct sunlight). Then expose the foreground to what ever it needs to be. I suppose you could also get crazy overlapping ND graduated filters, but multiple exposure would work better. (you may need to use a french flag or something similar to block out the moon in the second exposure.) That all said, the easiest way is to use two images and composite them in Photoshop.

I believe you could also use slow sync flash. The flash isn't powerful enough to illuminate the moon, but will illuminate the foreground which would make everything in the foreground properly exposed, and leave the background and sky black.

If you use Photoshop to edit (other programs will probably do it as well) you can mount the camera on a tripod, take one shot exposed for the moon, another exposed for the foreground and blend the two shots together.
