Happy Aloha Friday

Happy Aloha Friday!

When we visited the Big Island in 1992, there was a parking lot near Kīlauea's Halemaʻumaʻu pit crater. You could walk up right to the edge of the crater which I did to get these pictures.

DW didn't want to get near the edge. She stayed in the car and even made me leave the keys. :LOL:

Smart woman! In 2018 the crater collapsed, taking most of the parking lot with it.

I am also a Railfan, and went to see the Big Boy earlier this month as part of the western tour. We saw it a few years ago at the Roseville yard outside of Sacramento, and had planned to drive up and see it there again. But we decided that since we were planning to spend the night in Sacramento anyway, we would leave a bit earlier in the day to see the Engine in action and hit the Marysville, CA whistlestop. That worked out well. It was more fun to see the train moving, plus it poured with rain the day the engine was on display in Roseville.

Back in 2017 we stayed at the Blacksand Beach not far from South Point at Sea Mountain Timeshare for a week. We made several trips to Volcano National Park. One day when we were at the Visitor Center they announced they would be doing their monthly hike down into the Crater. We quickly signed up. The Lead Ranger carried a Special Radio and a variety of Sensors. He warned us that if we saw him running we had better follow. We descended the Crater Wall just across from the Visitor Center. So we were aways from the then existing Lava Lake/Pool. It was about a 400-500 Foot descent on a switchback Trail. Then we walked out into the Center. It was very interesting. There was Pele' Hair everywhere. We came back a different route. There was a Lava Flow at the time but it was all underground to the Sea Side Cliffs. The same night we did the 4 mile hike out and 4 mile hike back to see the Lava shooting into the ocean at night. We also viewed the Lava Pool at night. We spent the night in a 2 Bedroom Unit at KMC. At the time there was a Museum and Parking Lot by the Lava Pool. We have been back but the Museum was gone and they no longer did hikes into the Crater.

Happy Aloha Friday. Our weather is hot hot hot and I like it. The kids and grandkids are taking me tubing through the Yakima Canyon today. I was tempted to bring a fly rod but decided to just go with the flow.

In front of the Schooner Landing in Maui is Waipuilani Park and beautiful sunsets. Some of you might recognize this tree.

The resort is Maui Schooner. Schooner Landing is in Oregon I believe. :)

Happy Aloha Friday from Upstate South Carolina. 45* this morning after 2 inches of much needed rain yesterday. Rain forecast for Monday. Good weather for the weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers.
 
Happy Aloha Friday. Something I havent done for at least 11 years is Spring Chinook fishing. We went a couple of days ago and hooked up . Most fishers wont catch a thing. We caught six. Its combat fishing in boats.

Happy Aloha Friday, from Northern, CA: We are expecting a high of 94º this week, which is warm for May! We have been home for several weeks, and we are focusing on gardening right now. Our tomatoes, which we planted on April 4th, are bigger every day!

Happy Aloha Saturday from Rouen, France! On Thursday and Friday we visited the D-Day landing beaches, with feelings very different from the feelings associated with beaches in Hawaii. Sorry my photo files are too large to post.
 
Happy Aloha Saturday from the Twin Cities. It was a little chilly for the Twin Cities Bike MS Ride, but it was for a worthy cause.
