It uses steam to generate electricity, but that is not the cool part.
The cool part is that if you take the dirt road right next to the steam plant and follow it for a mile or so there are impromptu shooting ranges that are lots of fun.
The lady at the police front desk sent me there when I asked where I could shoot in the area; she said that’s where the local police go.
Well, the local police are a lot more earthy than the ones that ran my local shooting range, because they were doing odd stuff like hanging stuffed animals from trees and shooting TVs and old skis.
It made me feel just plain stuffy and uptight.
I had never shot at a stuffed animal swinging in the breeze before that day, and never since!
Where do they get the heat to generate the steam? Is it from the volcano?
