The big island of Hawaii
We got off the boat, rented Jeeps and headed to Volcano National Park.
Right behind us in this picture is an active volcano called Kilauea volcano crater.
In this picture it looks like Ken has taken up smoking.
This is the entrance to a lava tube. It was really surreal to walk on a path that was created by lava many years ago.
Walking through the tube
The exit goes up but you can continue going straight through if you have proper equipment such as flashlight.
This is a huge area of land that had once been a city in Hilo destroyed by lava. Their were some homes out in the field but most don't have running water to them. People still live in them today.
This was private property we decided to go on. The yellow markers are where you are suppose to go with a guide starting at 5:00. Well that didn' t work for us because we had to be on the boat by then and it was around 3:00. Some of us were nervous to go but it was "Daves Day" so out we went.
Then we heared sirens, turned around and saw this read car with lights on. Over a speaker we hear "please return to your vehicle." Turns out it was a rent a cop but we had our tails between our legs on the walk back.
So when we went to our Jeeps, their was a hippie guy hanging out telling us for $5 a head he would take us on a trail the back way to look at the volcano we wanted to originally see. The trail was off rode and a tight fit leading toward the coast.
It was a beautiful view and worth it.
He also showed us a blowhole
This was at dinner later that night.
After 9:00 the boat was heading up the island to see the volcano we had been to earlier that day. It was so amazing to see lava in person instead of on t.v. or in pictures.
