| This is the steaming hillside located roughly below where "Lava in Hawaii" is marked on the map, just above the road past Queen's Bath. |
| Very interesting shapes in the lava. This is called Pahoehoe lava, which is smooth and flowy, one of two types. The other kind is A'a, which looks like a bunch of rocks |
| I just liked the clouds |

| This is a panoramic view of the crater. It's too big to take in one shot, so I did three. These photos were taken from Volcano House, a lodge that's been there in various incarnations for many, many years. They claim that the fire in the fireplace has never gone out in over 60 years. Note the bluff on the far right. To the farthest right is Steaming Bluff where we were when I took the pictures on March 14 (page 4). Note also at the left side of the ridge, on the very edge, there's a low flat building. That's the Jagger Museum. See below. |

| I always take pictures of the signs when I got to places like this. That way I can read them at my leisure - and remember them! |
| This is our '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee we just bought 2 days ago. Paid $7000 for it. Had 67,000 miles on it, electric everything, tow package, off-road package, the works. Previous owner was a guy who was only here a few months out of the year, the rest of the time the Jeep was garaged. It's in cherry condition. We love it! |

| This was taken at the intersection around 5:30-6:00 in the afternoon with the westerly sun behind the cloud adding a nice effect. I had to expose two ways: one for the sky, and one for the ground. We will be driving down the road to the far right. The road on the near right is the road to Pahoa and the road to the left is the road to our house. |

| This is the view from the dining room at Volcano House. It's our favorite place to eat. The breakfast buffet is the best and nothing can beat looking into the crater of an active volcano while eating! |
