Thankfully a group of 2 dozen kids (on a field trip?) finished this hike just as we pulled up to the TH parking lot. Just listening to them for the few minutes it took to gear up and head out was enough... most were whining about how boring the hike was. :-({|=

One comment that really got me fired up was "I'd rather be playing Hunger Games than hiking!" :x
I was so close to walking over and knocking the kid down, taking everything he had, blindfolding and dragging him out off the trail someplace and finally asking him are we having fun yet!?
Good thing Tracey wouldn't let go of my hand. [-X

Whatever any of the kids said, boring wasn't even in the dictionary on this hike. The views were awesome and it was wonderful to experience them first-hand, because photos simply can't do justice to the Bumpass Hell area... Tracey would say that's a good thing, because if photos could convey the smell nobody would want to view them. Ok, it smelled :yuck: but c'mon, this is sulphur we're talking about, so suck it up... or more accurately, hold your breath. Tracey was having none of that and turned back while I continued to the end of the boardwalk taking photos and videos along the way.

Other than the group of kids, almost everyone else was speaking either what I would guess was an Eastern European language (not Russian) or German, which both Tracey and I could understand bits and pieces of. This seemed to be a continuing theme on this trip, because we heard much the same both back in Death Valley and our next few days in Northern CA.
