The Big Island, Part 4 (without photoshop)

And they just keep coming...I told you I had a lot! All of these are from Mauna Kea -- pretty close but not all the way to the top (which is a little over 13,000 ft.). That night we stayed up there for the sunset and then drove down to the visitors center and checked out some stars/planets they had set up on telescopes. Scott may not have looked cold but he stayed in the car for most of the time we were hanging out. He just got out to chase a receipt that blew out of the car when I opened the door. We aren't fans of littering -- on the sidewalk or a mountain!

The Big Island

Here are just a few pictures from our trip to the Big Island....we took a lot. There was lots to see! We stayed at the Kileuea Military Camp, which was right in the Hawaii Volcano National Park. So, we saw lava, went to the top of Mauna Kea, drove by lots of old lava (drove a lot period!) and saw as much as we could in a few days. More pictures to come!

Steam from the Kileuea caldera...they say the lava is now 100 meters under the surface...something's coming....

The caldera floor, we hiked down there..(don't worry, it's huge!)

The steam from the caldera floor

Ginger -- apparently in the national park its a nuisance and is constantly trying to be eradicated. Its similar to, but not the ginger in the store

Windmills on the south shore

Farmland on the south shore...we even saw cows & horses!

Lava going into the ocean

More lava...it was so neat to see!

The crowd oooing and aahing...you can see approx. how far away we were

Congratulations!!
