A Foggy View of Nothing

This was our view of the glorious volcano.

We channeled our disappointment into an invigorating hike through the trails in the park and were working up quite a sweat when we noticed some of the leaves in the dense forest were glistening with sunlight!

“That’s because I prayed we would get to see the volcano!” I shouted.

Knowing that it may be a short-lived opportunity, we kicked it into high gear, even though we were already breathing hard with the extra altitude and did the best we could to run (OK, Joel ran and I volunteered to be the pack mule with his camera and bring up the rear!) back to the volcano.

The clouds had not only parted, but rolled away completely, giving us an unobstructed view of the crater!
