| The very next day, there was an extended period of earthquakes between Kilauea Caldera and Pu'u O'o vent and all the lava stopped flowing from Pu'u O'o down to the sea. Inside Pu'u O'o, the lava lake dropped over 100 feet. Not knowing what was going to happen next, Volcanoes National Park closed off Crater Rim Drive past Jagger Museum, including Chain of Craters Road and everyone was holding their breath... Robin and I went up to Jagger Museum at Kilauea to watch the seismographs. |

| There aren't many pictures of this trip since I was driving this day. All I have to offer you are some purty flowers! |

| Here's a picture of a poster in Volcano House explaining what happened. "Episode 56" turned out to be a lot of steam and gas but very little lava. More on these developments later... |
