Lava Field covers miles and miles from old eruptions.
This is pic from Big Island. This is part of the lava field from previous eruptions. It covers the road so you need to get off the bus and walk on it . We went for about 3/4 mile. You need to really watch your step as this stuff looks smooth but it is like glass and if you fall you could get cut. The stop where the live lava was flowing in to the sea was too far for us to go to, you would need to walk 3-4 miles on this lava field to get there. We could see the plum of steam where it was flowing over the cliffs and in to the water and will post pic of it later.
Anyway, just wanted to get a couple of posts up and will post more tonite. We are just leaving to go on hike of Diamond Head. Write more tonite.
