Our first order of business today is grouse watching. Oh, did I mention grouse watching begins at 4:30 IN THE MORNING!!!
So there are no pictures of the grouse, it's 4:30 AM, I can barely keep my eyes open let alone take pictures!!! I will admit, the grouse very pretty neat to watch, but did they have to dance at sunrise?!? Why not sunset!!! Oh-well, moving on......

I do have pictures of our next stop, Wright's Point.

Melinda explains to us that Wright's Point is an example of inverted topography.....

Now, on to the Buena Vista Refuge for some birding....

Here is our complete disregard for the law.......
 

Lunch Time!!!! We stop at Page Springs Camp Ground to eat lunch....

On our way to Diamond Craters, we stop along side the road to look at birds.....

Now on to Diamond Craters.....

First we looked at tumulus's.....Then on to the lava lake.... 

.....Amy found a lizard ...Then we moved on to the cindercones

Melinda shows us a lava bomb  and we find a cool plant, but Lynn can't remember what it's called

Next, we stop at the dry marr... ...then the wet marr... 

Now, our final stop of the day is the Round Barn
Here is the outside of the round barn.......Here is the inside...
