Hi Steve, You do have a way with pictures AND living on the edge! Yikes! Way too close for comfort for me, glad you're the one taking these close photos. Took a cl#### in volcanology once and although it was quite a facinating course, I wouldn't want to be this close to a 'live' volcano in all my borne days. To each their own, I guess. Thanks for showing us around. That's appreciated. Best regards from a wet Oregon Coast. Ron
