Woman's body found off Kalapana

I find it a bit strange... that there are MANY tourist going out to "FILM" or take pictures of the Lava... I would imagine at least half have pretty high quality video camera's and the rest using like Iphones or Android phones with lot's of memory for video and 5 megapixel camera's.

I would think one of these tourist or guides would have some Video of this "SO CALLED" abusive guide... If someone started talking trash to me I'd be turning on the video to get some evidence of it.

I just think it's kinda odd if this is so frequent why don't we have even ONE video of the screaming and cursing tour guide? Maybe I should just get a bunch of people and walk out there every night and try to get that guy on tape. I went out once... Parked the car along the road.... and hiked out along the ocean to see the lava after about an hour or so... came back up the parking lot way. Friend I was with thought it would be a better idea to go back that way... So whatever. We hiked up and around past many many people being led to and back... We made it to the parking lot and walked back to the parked car about another mile or two... No problems ... No screaming... No noting other than the tour vans were driving back and fourth rather fast shuttling people in and out of the area. No mafia or security guards ... No one ... not a soul approached us or even talked to us.

Thought I'd share my own story. Only thing got out of it was a pretty good experience watching the lava enter the ocean and some ok photos. Might do it again later once the lava is flowing again.

I'm not saying that people that encounter problems there are BS... Just wanted to say I don't really have any bias at all on this.
