Hoeman, Vincent D. 1964 pool strained through sand. These are the oldest kilauean rocks. U. S. C and GS brass cap on top under small cairn with fallen survey flagpost on board of which I write my name. From this "sacred Hill" I continue cross'country on half-vegetated lava toward Halina Palis seeing Golden Plovers and nyamahs out there. White eye in fairly far out brush too. And many goats. About 1205 hours, I finally reach the shelter at road end on Halina Pali and the tank of of rainwater is certainly welcome. I walk over a mile up the road and wait for Larry. We go refresh ourselves at Volcano store then go to Kipuka Puulu (Bird Park) where there is a 1.1 mile trail through magnificent forest. Many apapane, iiwi, amakihi, and I watch a scolding battle between white eyes and leothrix, the latter have terrifically varied voices. Next I hike in the "Footprints Trail" 1.8 mi. to Mauna Iki, 3032, a lava dome built up in 1921, while Larry talks to a ranger Al. Branson at Hq. about mongoose trapping. As evening comes we drive out Chain of Craters Road checking each crater for bird activity and I climb 3,400 Puu Huluhulu to check its crater. Pig-damage of vegetation is extensive there and we later see pig on road. Listening at craters in dark produces nothing. Larry uses heat escaping from a Fumarole to heat a can of chili. Slightly rainy, I call Dr. Ely from store and we patrol the roads trying to catch Golden Plover. Come pretty close to getting one or two. Back out to Kipuka Nene to sleep, Larry in car, I in shelter.
