The lava finally came back down the hill last night. Pele's been hiding since July & we've been out for the past two weeks waiting for her to make an appearance. We heard she finally got down the hill to a walkable distance so we got our walking sticks, cameras, water & headed out. I was ready for a 4 hour hike like last year...this time it was 3 minutes! By the time we left the flow was only 25 feet from the spot where everyone parks!
Here's a starter set of photos:
Dat's a Rotsa Rava Reorge!
Yes, we are that close. Most of these are taken without zoom. We were only 8 feet from the lava most of the time. Luckily it moves slow & we stayed on the high spots. Gravity is your friend!
These movies and photos are hosted on my OWN site, so please just view them once & don't send the link around. I need to keep my bandwidth under the limit. If you know of free photo sites where I can host pics *and* movies, please let me know & I'll move em.
