| 4/8/08, 8:30 AM Steam plume. Check out the wind conditions: straight up, then off to the northeast |
| I think this is the path I was looking for on 12/9/07. I couldn't follow it because there was a guard there. |
| 4/13/08 Robin and I took another hike out to Kea'au Beach. The last time we went, on 7/27/07, they were filming the 4th Indiana Jones movie in the area and we weren't allowed to bring cameras in. This time I was able to bring my camera and I also line back. When we got there, I walked past the beach and went out to the coast, looking for the path that led to King's Landing. Partway there, I saw an overgrown road that could have been it... |
| ^ Ironwood along the coast. As you might guess, there isn't much soil --> here... |
| At the beach, fresh water seeping out of the ground created this interesting pattern in the sand. |
| Just really cool vegetation |
| <-- A sea turtle basking... |

| This is a weird place. As idyllic as it looks, the water's really cold because there's a fresh water stream running into it. There was also a town cop and "the owner" standing there, making sure - I don't know what. They wouldn't let me take pictures of the houses that you can see in the last map image above. I wasn't really taking pictures of the houses - I was taking pictures of them because it was so weird having them standing there. |
