Our scenic lunching destination Like Poke? lunch wagon Rusted giant tanks About halfway up Haleakala First glimpse of the crater Cloud layer off the side Science City Start of the Shifting Sands trail Quite barren Rusty soil Eastern half of the crater Full crater Even fuller crater Tenacious little plant Secret stash of silversword Getting closer to the silversword, found only on Haleakala Very red soils Small arch Shadows swallowing the crater Plenty of sand, but fortunately not much sliding View from Kalahaku overlook Descending into the clouds Silversword up close Sunset from above the clouds Sunset from above the clouds Convict tangs Green sea turtle! Making a getaway Lively coral Orangeband surgeonfish Tim dives down for a closeup Slate pencil urchins Surgeonfish Eel Our soon-to-be-beach Wild goat Surfer memorial Lava flows and Haleakala Sand in the making Rocky shores Another wandering goat Slithering vine Waiting for sunset Seaweed salad anyone? Wind farm McGregor Point lighthouse A lone bottlenose dolphin A break in the clouds Molokini in the distance Two humpback whales Waving goodbye Humped back Here comes the pod Swimming into the Molokini crater Not the first to arrive Needlefish Pinktail triggerfish Rather surly looking, don't you think? Plenty of triggerfish Rainbow wrasse Another pinktail triggerfish Orangeband surgeonfish Yellow and convict tangs Diving way down Snapper? Caitlin takes a dive Me in the wetsuit top Tim comes back in Last to return to the boat Leaving Molokini MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Allegedly self-righteous non-profiteers Entering Turtle Town Puttering around Paddling off Our vessel Dunes The boardwalk Not many birds Lahaina at night White hibiscus flowers Noni, a coffee relative Noni buds Waikamoi Falls Tropical trees Road to Hana Ke'anae Valley, looking very primal
