Volcano Boarding

So, I got to go on my first Graham Neale-led volcano boarding tour. I went mainly for photography purposes and to witness the magic. I was expecting to have some material that I could use to make fun of him later with, but I came home empty handed. I was extremely impressed and although our group was small and quiet (that's a diplomatic way to say it right?), Graham was informative, thorough and entertaining. He actually knew a lot about the volcano and its geology as well as history of the area etc. Nobody asked him if he was a scientist this time, which according to him happens somtimes...so I no longer believe that. Anyways, I took a ton of photos and put them up on Snapfish. Click here to see the new Volcano Boarding album.

The photos start with us driving to the volcano, where the only traffic we hit were serious herds of cows and horses. Then we get to the volcano and there are a lot of everyone following Graham, carrying their boards up the path. He stopped at various points to talk about the volcano and so there are A LOT of photos of hiim doing that too. We hike past two craters and have some amazing views along the way. Then everyone puts on their bright orange jumpsuits and goggles and Graham instructs them before sending them down the mountain. Apparently one of the guys on the tour today was the slowest Graham had seen to date, so that was kind of funny. Everything went well and everyone had a lot of fun so all in all Graham Neale's Volcano Boarding Tour was a wild success. Oh and I took a couple of videos, which I will upload later.
