Kilauea Caldera Hike
| October 14, 2007 |
| I decided to complete the re-hike of the October, 2006 hike which I started last week. The only thing left to complete now is the Byron Ledge Trail and I'll have covered the whole hike I did on 10/9/06 in one day! This time I didn't want to hike up out of the caldera (uphill to Volcano House, which was brutal on me the last time!) so I had Robin leave me off at Volcano House Crater where Robin met me with the car. Much easier that way! |

| The caldera through the trees on the way down |
| This is why I wanted to go down instead of up! |
| There's a outlook above and I could hear people talking as if they were only a few feet away. |

| Looking back. I came down the sloping area to the left, just below Volcano House, on the ridge |

Hilo Bay Kayak
| October 15, 2007 |
| Another Hilo Bay kayak trip (green line out, magenta line back). I went out around "Coconut Island" (where it's labeled Waihonu Pond) and then back up the river to the lagoon in Hilo. I found this little stream and followed it up toward the center of town where I took some "Pix". |
