Lava comes down soft and hot!....

Sunday afternoon we returned to the volcano and walked down a lava tube. The first section is lit and paved; the second section is not. This is where you experience the true meaning of "pitch black".


We drove Chain of Craters Road down to the coast and stopped to look at some petroglyphs.

This is where the lava crossed the road during the 1983 Pu'u O'o eruption. This eruption is going on to this day, feeding into the sea. Hawai'i is the only state in the Union that is getting larger every year.
