Bloggin' from da beach, mon

Life is good. Today we are pretty much the only people on a gorgeous
beach. This is because of the rough road that leads here, over about a
mile or so of hot lava fields. Most tourists shy away after about a
quarter mile, but being adventurous Oregonians, we decided to go for
it. We were of course prepared to hike if necessary (remember the
adventurous bit), but lugging all our snorkeling gear, food, etc. over
the hot trail was not a plus. We are adventurous folk, but above all
we are hedonists.

So Cindy piled some rocks in the low spot which causes most two wheel
drive vehicles to either turn around or park, and pressed on. After
this, it really wasn't all that bad. For Ma and Pa Kettle from Iowa,
I'm guessing it looked impassable. We're glad we went for it, because
this is a little slice of heaven. Not only does it have plenty of
shade, but cell service, allowing me to blog from the beach! A
techie's dream vacation.
