There is an interesting story involved with this sign.
If you can't tell from the image, it was getting dark (OK, so the sun was WAY down!),
and I was going to hike 4 miles over old lava flows with only the light from my camcorder (see rule number 3!) to
where the lava flowing from the Pu o'o vent met the waters of the ocean. Steam, churning, cinders, action!! Well
anyway, after hiking about 3/4 mile, I met some people coming back the other way. They said they had been hiking
with flashlights for about 2 1/2 hours and had only made it about 3/4 ot the way there. From where I stood, it
appeared that I hadn't done SQUAT! ^%$&@)^& this! Home time, call this adventure done. Another hour over
lava flows back to the rental (dripping sweat like mad), dead camcorder (lost the power about 45 minutes earlier),
tired Bob. Its Miller time! Never did get that footage! (Hence the sign. Got that shot on the way IN!)
