Today we spent some time planning what we're going to want to do and see when we Island hop next month to Maui and the Big Island. A MUST SEE thing for the big Island is it's active volcano where we're sure we'll see some lava. We're sitting there talking about it and the front page of the Honolulu Advertiser is brought to our attention.
Apparently it's been rather active lately and the lava is seaping over onto the roads in some nearby areas! We've got to see this.
It's a U.S. Geological Survey photo and the Caption reads, "Lava crawls across the Kalapana access road, creating a Halloween portrait of orange flames and black smoke from burning asphalt. The lava lobe late last week was about 200 yards west of the county's lava-viewing trailhead, which remains open. To reach the road, the lava burned through a kipuka, or a long surviving island of vegetation.
I can't wait to see it up close!
