Lava Watch

Aloha everyone!  We are back now but must share this last experience with everyone.  On Saturday, we decided to go try and see the lava enter the ocean.  We were given some basic directions to go down route 130 to the end in the town of Kalapana.  We did just that and ended up at this parking lot.  There was a bus there too for a tour.  We were told to get there before sunset and bring a flashlight.  We would need to walk out on the lava rocks in the last bit of day light in order to know what we’re dealing with.  So, out we went.  There were about four guys ahead of us that just took off.  I guess they knew to get there by sunset.  We got about half way there and it was almost dark.  We had walked through bushes after a section of lava rocks.  We had just about enough so we snapped a few pictures and turned around.  With our handy flashlights, we started to make our way back.  It started to rain so we sought shelter under a tree until it let up a bit.  We then continued.
