Outside of "One Boat" village. |
Lots of old trophies. |
A very old pump house from the early 1800s. |
Cross Hill from a distance. |
A friend just bought a car. The then 90-minute walk to Green Mountain is now about a 20-minute drive. This leaves lots more time on the various trails. |
The trails are beautiful and in full bloom from recent rain. |
A trail cut through rock by the British Marines in the early 1800s. |
Land crabs sizing each other up. |
The path can be a bit tricky at times. |
There are many different colors of land crabs. Great camouflage with this color. Female land crabs lay their eggs in salt water. The crabs had a long walk to get this high and far from the sea. |
Another day of exploring. |
A marine captain built this small cottage near the summit. |
On my last Green mountain trip, I hiked to the bamboo forest at the summit. |
The trails we walked this day. |
This guy was huge. |
All of the hikes have a letterbox like this. Inside is a visitors' log book to sign and a stamp for your hiking book. |
Beautiful Shell Ginger abounds everywhere. |
Ascension Island could be another Hawaii if it received more rain. |
Before blooming. |
Land crabs.
