When I lived in New Orleans, sometimes people would have a feast just after midnight on either Christmas Eve or New Years. It was called a "reveillon". I have always wanted to dine while overlooking Halemaumau, there at the summit of Kilauea. And I got to wondering, is there any reason why you couldn't bring a table, a nice linen table cloth (with clips), some glasses, a brisket, some plates and napkins and just lay it all out right there at the overlook, weather permitting?
Can you think of any legal or regulatory impediment to dining al fresco at the volcano? Of course, I would want my wine to be sulfite-free as some kind of sulf-something would be in abundance and you wouldn't want any extra in your glass. And, I guess there is the possibility of a flaming rock landing in the crystal just as you are about to clink glasses.
And I guess the whole, lovely scene could be obscured by a stinging, toxic cloud if the wind started blowing the wrong way.
But if it went right, it seems like it could be pretty fun.
I understand there is a view from the Volcano House but I don't think it would be the same and they aren't open that late. And that's just too, too easy.
Please discuss whether I should be committed immediately, or if it is best to wait another year while it becomes full blown.
