After visiting the petroglyphs trail, we drove to the end of Chain of Craters Road to see the 90-foot Holei Sea Arch. On the way, we saw lava fields all the way down to the ocean. I sketched a little. Before we left, we decided to take some fun Instagram type photos, though I never post my hike photos on Instagram. Some younger people were humored by our attempts and started coaching us on how to pose. It was hilarious, and we laughed so hard.
