| We've been out here before, but the weather's much better and it's the morning, rather than the evening, so the light's completely different. The cyan line is our route today, the yellow line is my hike of April 16. |

| This is coming down the hill on Pahoa-Kalapana Road (slate blue line) where the camera icon is on the map above. |
| This is known as "The Painted Church". It was successfully moved from Kalapana to avoid the lava flow. |
| This is the intersection where we turn to our house. Turn left, head to our place. Turn right, head to the "End of the Road" and the lava. |
| After turning left, you come to this "T" intersection. Turn right, and you come to Verna's and Uncle's Awa Bar. Turn left and you're on the way to our house. This is where we can see the steam plume from the lava entering the ocean. |
| This is our transfer station for trash. Not bad, huh? There's a road down behind that retaining wall that accesses the dumpsters. All we have to do is dump it over the wall. |
| Continuing on down the road |
| Until we reach the turn to our subdivision on the left ahead. |
| Now let's head back to that intersection and go straight to the End of Road instead of turning off to our place. |
| Here's the End of the Road. As you can see, the road continues on into the lava field. |
| Like this |
| There's that green house with the red roof again |
| And there's the road again! That trailer wasn't there when we were here last time. Maybe somebody moving in. |
| And a little way down the road, it peters out again... |

More of our neighborhood
| This is looking straight past the signs. You can just see the ocean peeking through. |
| Zoom. See? |
| Every day we check out the status of the steam plume. You can just see that green house with the red roof. |
| A different day. The green house is right in front of the plume |
| Now we've turned left and are heading toward home. Note that the lava quickly ends and plant life takes over. |
| Zoom. See? |
