| Robin and I went to a seminar on Kona side for the weekend so, of course, we stayed at Ray & Ellen's house. I went over early, on Friday, to get in a little kayaking. |
| The paddling wasn't very much fun - I was heading straight into a pretty stiff breeze and the waters were pretty choppy (green line). It was like paddling uphill. When I finally turned around (magenta line), I found I was going the same speed as I was going out - but I wasn't even paddling! To get over my guilt for not having got a proper amount of exercise, I decided to hike out to the old Hawaiian village of Ki'ilae (blue line out, orange line back). |
| This is the beginning of the trail at the end of the Picnic area |
| K - Ramp |
| We've seen this ramp a number of times going by in Ray's boat and I've always been interested in looking at it more closely... |
| Looking back down the ramp |
| Looking back toward Pu'uhonua O Honaunau from the top of the ramp |
| When it came right down to it, there wasn't much to see at the village - a few stone walls all overgrown with brush... |
Home from Ray's - Kilauea
| March 17, 2008 |
| While at Ray & Ellen's, we heard that Kilauea had sprung a leak - there were fumes escaping from a point inside Halema'uma'u Crater and that they had closed off Crater Rim Drive between Jaggar Museum and Chain of Craters Road. I stopped by on the way home to see... |
| These pictures were taken from Jaggar Museum. The visitors' viewpoint is directly behind the plume. There is no lava associated with this event - just gas. |
