| Hike to Pu'u Huluhulu (marked "Rain"). Robin and I tried a hike out along the Napau Crater Trail toward Pu'u O'o. We had heard that there were views of the Pu'u O'o vent. As it turned out, it started to rain` and we couldn't see a thing so we had to turn back... |
| Breakfast buffet at Volcano House on the edge of an active volcano. Our favorite! |
| On our hike, we come across a bunch of tree molds... |
| Tree molds are created when lave flows around a tree. The sap and moisture in the tree prevents it from catching on fire right away. The lava mounds up around it and cools until the tree finally catches on fire and burns away, leaving these bizarre shapes. |
| A moth taking a nap on one of the tree molds. The wingspan on this guy is probably about 4" |

| We hike up Pu'u Huluhulu which is the side of an old overgrown cinder cone. When we got to the top, it started to rain like hell and fogged in. |
| 8/9/08 <--The Makuu house. Notice how shaded it is from the big roof overhangs. One of our favorite sports at Makuu --> is watching the waves. Just to the left, in the calm water, are tidal pools where we sit and soak... |
