Nice plants! That one cactus looks mighty dangerous! You better keep it away from puppy.

I better keep it out of reach period, stab myself with it coming out of the box, it's got those big spikes and then itty bitty ones everywhere that you can't see until after you touch it!

Saddle Road photos coming soon!

Yesterday I went up on the Saddle Road to Mauna Loa Rd. and the Mauna Loa Forest Reserve.

Here at the beginning of Mauna Loa Rd. is Pu'u Huluhulu, a !0,000 year old Pu'u (Cinder Cone) which is a Plant Sanctuary.

In front of the Pu'u is the 1925 pahoehoe lava flow.

Up the road a bit, and looking back on 'Omaokoili (Pu'u), from across the 1935 'a'a lava flow.

This is where I stopped and surveyed; a 4,000 yr. old 'a'a' flow.

The trees are 'Ohi'a, Metrosideros polymorpha var. polymorpha.

Here is the largest 'Ohi'a tree in the area. This is Sub-Alpine Mesic Forest, at 6'500 ft. elev.

A common shrub in the area is Coprosma montana. The berries are edible, don't taste very good.

This is a rare to tongue fern, Elaphoglossum wawrae. Hawaiians called this Ekaha.

This is Sylvester, one of the areas wild game.

I found Sylvester hanging in a tree.

A large turned up rock at the edge of the new flow.

Sylvester's kin, Capra hirca hirca, Feral Goat.
