Hi...
We had a slow run in early July that had a LOT of time to kill.... example.... like a run that we could have done, comfortably, in 3 days, they gave us 5 days to do it in. (We picked up on Thursday, and it delivered on Monday.) We tried to call ahead to get an early delivery appt, on Sat or Sun, but they were closed over the weekend. So .... we decided to go sight-seeing.
It was interesting! An old volcano, and an underground ice cave within walking distance of each other.
We had to hike up this little hill to see down into the old volcano. It was surrounded with lava rocks, everywhere. Then hike back down and a little over, then down some "Very Steep" stairs to see the ice cave. All in all - pretty cool.
First, We decided to take the path through the lava rocks, up the hill to the volcano. Then we hiked over to see the Ice Cave.
Here are some pix.
Leroy in front of a fallen tree and surrounded by lava rocks, on the way up to see the volcano.
Laurie in a caved out lava formation.
Here is the what the old volcano looks like today. Just a sunken hole.
Here we are... Laurie & Leroy... in front of the volcano.
Watch your step...
Say... Can you step back just one more step? OK, now just one more step... he-he.
These are the steps leading down to the underground Ice Cave. Wow, were they ever steep!!!
Hold on the railings and watch your step. Some of the steps were not the same depth as the other ones. Watch out.
Here is Laurie at the bottom of the Ice Cave. See the frozen water that is a yellowish-green color. That color is from frozen algae.
Here is Leroy at the bottom of the Ice Cave. (Isn't he handsome?!)
In this picture you can see the rocks on the top that look like they could fall at any moment.
Hey Mom... it is just an accident waiting to happen. Not good Risk Management to let tourist down there... but then again... what do I know.. if they have stayed up this long, couldn't they stay up a little longer!? Sure Hope so.
TTFN
Ta Ta For Now.
Keep Havin Fun!
Love ya,
Laurie
