Not a place where you want to stumble out of your tent bleary-eyed in the morning.

I hate to spoil the party but if you folks want to see a REAL volcano in action you should visit the website of my old buddies from the Alaska Volcano Observatory at:

www.avo.alaska.edu

and check out the latest images.

Some of them are so beautiful they will amaze you. Nothing is more beautiful than Alaska at its wildest.

This is Mt. St. Augustine's third eruption since 1976. I caught two of them when I lived there.

Our Bichon Frise pup was born in Homer in 2001. His official AKC name is "St. Augustine's Fire". He's a pretty cool dog even if he does think he's a Labrador retriever because he lives with three of them. He thinks he's the boss. We call him "the General" even though Auggie is his given name.
