LIDICKER 1991 July 30 cont. A thundering spider that was quite small and jumped like a Giant toge when threatened. Returned to Hilo for lunch. Returned to Kbyng 11 & continued on to the North, Perk. Drove around Kilauaea Crater to S (came - cloudwise), & took chain-of-craters road, to the coast & N to where we could just see lava flow (23 mi. from start of rd.). Walked 1+2:1/2 hrs over lava, found old stone church yard & on to where lava was still flowing into the ocean. Quite a sight. Returned to complete our circuit q Kilauaea Crater when it got dark. Returned to Hilo for dinner at the Fiji Restaurant (Hilo Hotel). July 31 - 07:00-12:30 Went on field trip organized by Conference or conference on avian history.

Then we took the "four lane road" with stands M S and drove down Loa & i lovely peninsula with 4-wheel drive. Drove in ~3 mi., & walked another mile to a Kapuka on W side of rd.
