Iceland: The Golden Circle Part Four: Kerid Crater

The final stop for me on the Golden Circle Iwas Kerid Crater. 

It is not listed as one of the "Big Three" must see landmarks on the famous route. 

But it probably should be.

The problem was that I had no internet connection and no way to find it.

Yet in the end,  I gambled.

And won.

Indeed, I found it and was glad to have gotten the chance,  frankly. The only other time that I was by one was at Yellowstone,  and that was a massive lake.

Not sure that really counts. 

This,  on the other hand,  you could see very plainly. It almost looks like a lunar landscape. 

Man, I am glad to have found it and seen it. 

One strange thing: on my way out, I asked the guy how to get to Thing. He acted like he did not know, which was a bit hard to believe. 

Then he told me to go back, which would have added 1 1/2 hours to my trip.

By then, time was beginning to be a little tight, so that was bad news. 

Yet, the guy gave me a bad vibe.  So I ignored his advice and took a chance with my gut feeling. 

It worked. 

Sometimes, you have to go with your gut instincts,  right? Probably would never have made it otherwise.
