Lake Toya - Above and Around

This is a very active volcanic area, as this plan shows.  The place is pock marked with craters, a kind to the meteorited moon's surface.

The islands were created after the big eruption by smaller ones, tiny in comparison.

The latest seismic/volcanic activity in 2007(?) caused mud slides that distorted roadways or simple swept them away, leaving road side furniture behind for our amusement.  The writing says BEWARE.     But of what,  volcanoes, speeding cars or these four desperadoes?

The smoking gun.

 Once over ridge there is a view across the bay to Mount Kamagatake.

Late lunch stop.  MaryAnn insisted we stop here.  Next door was a field of sun flowers.  Very good grub we had.
