WOW Betchai, you're back with more beautiful pictures to share! But I wonder why it's called Bumpass Hell, looking at those picturesque photos, they're actually "heaven!"

Anyway, i'm sorry haven't been visited here for a couple of days, I've been resting and abit lazy lately.... But it's good to be back here!!

Debbie :)

ever thought of the reason why i call u BEST? simply because you are the BEST! you unselfishly share with us your amazing talent and God's gifts... what more can we ask for? THANK YOU, BEST!

btw,i wanted to comment on the photos but couldn't find words that are not "understatements"...

Bethchai welcome back dear!

interesting and beautiful place! remind of " Volcano Solfatara " in Italy two years ago. The sulfuric mud, the smell like a roten egg, only different is there's no snow there ;) is there snow now there Beth? amazing we have about 30°C here! thanks for sharing your trip to us Beth. Again you've done a good job my dear friend.

A cool place to go.

I went to this kind of place when I was in New Zealand. I can't remember the place. But the whole area was really smelly. Smell of sulphur. Hehehe

Glad you're back. You've got some great va...

2009-06-30T22:46:12.995-07:00

Glad you're back. You've got some great vacation pictures. Is there still snow out there?

Hope you enjoyed your SF visit. The flag you saw in my blog was the Croatian flag. I'll be heading to SD again a couple of times the next few months.

That is so beautiful. I love the steam rising up.

Welcome back, betchai. It looks as though you had a great time as well as a good workout on those snow-covered hills! What gorgeous photos. The steam rising off of the hot pools is so well-captured. And I love that blue pool...just beautiful.

2009-06-30T08:05:24.095-07:00

AMAZING!

My eyes were popping out like crazy viewing from photo to photo! ..hey they aren't simple..they are simply glorious! i could feel the temperature there, i could almost hear and touch everything!

-the Big Boiler Up Close; the Turquoise Hot Pool; Reflecting Cold Emerald Water Pool are my favorites!

Another great series of pictures, nobody would like to miss.
The different experience to trek on snow is kind of new to me and is not belonged to me too.

2009-06-30T06:00:12.259-07:00

This looks like an amazing place. It's something I would love to see many times. It's strange that it's the least visited park, but maybe that's because of all of the snow.

Welcome back Miss Beth! What a great post to star...

2009-06-30T03:33:45.162-07:00

Welcome back Miss Beth!

What a great post to start the series on your adventure... :D

Nature indeed is full of dualities... While from one setting, it's churning its hot bowels, in the other it is placid, calm and comforting...

Indeed the place is far from hell... I like your close up of the big boiler... But my favorite is the pic of the water pool... Must be my eyes but the water seems moving the more I stare at it... :D It is very inviting and a dip would be refreshing I guess...
