We came out of the woods into this A'a lava field. The first two photos are looking back at where we came out of the woods. The one on the right is of where we want to go, but the lava kept forcing us to the right. |
Back in the woods after getting guidance from Obi Wan. I kept falling further and further behind as I took pictures and marked all the surveyor's pins and stuff with my GPS. The sound of the ocean got louder and louder and eventually I could hear the girls shrieking with laughter. I came out of the woods in a huge grove of palm trees that opened onto a black rock beach. The girls were sitting on the rocks where the ocean waves would break over the rocks, giving them a refreshing shower of cold water (ocean temperature probably in the high 70s, if not 80). |
After getting refreshed, the girls wandered up to the other end of the "beach". |
This is a hammock the Obi Wan said he'd fashioned out of an old fishing net. |
From the far end of the beach, looking back at the palm grove fronting the beach. The hammock is strung right at the edge of the trees. |
