#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 6 - Tide pool collecting/Snorkeling, Akaka Falls, and VNP

This morning, we went to a new place to snorkel and do some tide pool collecting.  It was a beautiful place! There was a freshwater source coming in so there were not as many tide pool critters, but we still saw a brittle star, flatworm, cowrie, and many other critters.  The freshwater intrusion created a strange oily film on the water that made it hard to see some times.  But, an absolutely beautiful paradise. 

We went back to Uncle Billy's to shower and change.  Next stop, Akaka falls. 


Back up into Volcanoes National Park to check out some craters.


Oh no... I'm falling in...JK.  Just some fun with the fault line. The Silversword was blooming. Matthew 

Look closely...there is a rainbow. We went to see smoking trees. 


Ken's House of Pancakes.  These two got the SUMO Burger.  Oh my!  I felt like I was on Man VS Food!
