Ain't she a cutie?
We march across a lava flow to reach an oasis-like beach! It
is about a mile from the main road. There is a very rough
road through the lava flow, but it isn't open to cars. It is like
another planet. I wonder why you never see scifi shows using lava
flows as stand-ins for other worlds? They're way more foreign looking
than Arizona is!
Lava flows often look like the crust of a delicious brownie.
The beach-head is secured! It is a very nice little beach, but very rocky (the sand stops at the water's edge.) There are many little critters in the tidepool, and no bugs. Fish nibble our toes!
