Kaimu Walk
| June 14, 2009 |
| I decided I needed to get some exercise but I couldn't drive very far because I didn't have enough money for gas so I decided to just take a quick hike around the Kaimu area near the new Black Sand Beach. This would be a nice little walk, not one of those killer 10+ mile jobs I've been attempting. So I parked at the end of the road where I always take pictures of the lava plume and just hike up the coast to see what's there (green line). When it started to look a little too difficult (first picture below), I turned around and headed back toward the Black Sand Beach (magenta line) and then back to the car... |

| (12:36 PM) from "View BSB" Pu'u O'o vent sticking up above the pali. On the aerial views, Pu'u O'o is above and to the left of Royal Gardens |
| (12:42 PM) Approaching Black Sand Beach (BSB) Notice how steep the beach is. That means a wicked undertow. Don't want to swim there... Next stop Antarctica... |
| (12:14 PM) 180 degree view from "009" in Royal Gardens where the lava is coming down the hill |

Kehena Hike
| June 28, 2009 |
| Another short hike near home. I decided to cover some of the coast near the house that I hadn't been to yet. |
| The hike down. I started out going north (green line) but the terrain got really rough so I turned around and headed south (cyan line) |
| The hike back. |
| 4 WD on the roads I'd discovered on the hike... |
