Big Island Update II, Volcanoes National Park

Tuesday was a busy day visiting with a childhood friend who lives in Hilo and then going to Volcanoes National Park.

But first, breakfast at Ken's House of Pancakes. KC felt she should have her own menu to read.


One of our stops was the Thurston Lava Tube.



It was fun to see the Halemaumau crater. We could see gases billowing from the crater.



Devastation Trail was our last stop where we saw the destruction from the 1959 eruption.



We left Jon and Sarah to their camping and we returned to Oahu last night. This morning at dawn, we said goodbye to Tif's husband, Ed who is returning home to go back to work while Tif and KC continue their visit with us. Jon and Sarah will join us again tomorrow evening and we'll get to hear about their adventures.
