The increase in volcanic activity is very evident at volcano. The Rim of Craters Road is 1/2 closed. You can't go a number of places that we could last year. When we went to try to see the lava flow at Kalapana they were selling "gifts" to take to Pele - since we couldn't get very close, we saved it and Raven put it at Kilauea Crater. Fitting. We stayed at one of the cabins there. It was small, but nice. We cooked Spam and ate a nice picnic dinner and crashed. Funny thing was that the line that you weren't supposed to cross because it was "too dangerous" was literally right next to our cabin. The sulfur smoke coming out of Kilauea was apparently a precursor to the eruption that happened the day after we left HI! Appended Statement on Life in 21st Century: The picture of JB in the back of the car. He is Drinking Kona Beer, Cooking Spam on a Sterno, slicing fruit and bread with his Golok knife, and using his Sandridge Toughbook connected over a Celluar Network to run some computer scripts on a computer in Oklahoma City for the Next Business day Central Standard Time. Just about 1/4 mile from the Caldera of the Volcano. He was a little chilly due to the temperature. Life is very tough in the 21st century.
