| 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.
This post if full of interesting photos and amazing plants and crabs! You look like you are staying fit hiking and exploring those trails. Please be careful as I wonder if anyone could find you in that rough terrain. Maybe you should have a walkie-talkie device! Probably need a GPS tracker watch! Just hoping that someone knows your ETA for the daily treks....I know I would not want to be that far from town!

Ahhh!! A garden club. I'd be home there. I wasn't expecting so much growth and life after all the pictures of volcanoes! Those hikes must be something else. The smaller pathways make for interesting challenges. Moss, ginger, and crabs everywhere!! So much in common with the Hawaiian islands.
