Thanks for the heads up Terracore!
I’m wondering if all of the great members of Puna Web understand the origins of 420.
I present this highly acclaimed and very accurate mini documentary on the history of 420! Enjoy!

With current construction going on...it will be a traffic and parking nightmare.

a traffic and parking nightmare.
Maybe, but maybe not.
If the entry booths don’t have to charge an admission fee, traffic shouldn’t back up there.
Probably best to avoid the Visitor Center parking area as it’s now quite limited.
A good alternative is to drive to the Jaggar overlook parking area, there are a few short trails nearby. At KMC parking lot, you can walk out to the crater rim AND then buy an ice cream bar afterward.
Or head toward Chain of Craters road and park in the Devastation Trail lot. From there you can walk Devastation Trail or take the old Crater Rim Road which is now an easy walking path, and connects to a spectacular closeup overlook on the east side of Kilauea Crater. Good view of the recent eruptions cinder cones in the crater.

First of all, let me express my surprise, maybe disgust- that the free park holiday has been corrupted by people who want to celebrate taking The Pot. I've seen "Reefer Madness" TWICE. The Devil's Lettuce is neither "safe" nor "effective" at anything other than causing instant psychosis. If you don't agree, you're part of the problem.

Others celebrate 4/20 for a different reason.

One more note of something even more rare than a solar eclipse is happening this year on 4/20!!!
In fact, it's a once in every 100 years type of special "holiday!"
4/20/24 - is a "palindrome" number! Same forward same backwards!
See you all tomorrow at Volcano National Park!
For FREE!!!!!
