Our bags are packed, we leave sunny California for rainy Puna (VRBO in HB) tomorrow, with special interest in Fern Acres.
We hoped to meet Carey's PI friends, but Punweb PM is broken. I will put my contact info in the next post, then delete it later.
We are concerned about LFA and RLW - can these be controlled or will it get worse? (Just reviewed the FB page "Big Island Thieves" cited in recent topic - holy cow.)
We don't want to be in California if the grid goes down, rivers and wells run dry, and lines at the gas pump. But none of these might happen. (Might not be good in HI when the planes stop daily cargo flights from mainland either.) Currently we live 1/2 mile from Costco - nice walk through a nature trail.
At age 9 I saw this movie as new release in theater in 1971 - my brother and I still talk about it from that one viewing. The premise was that man and insects are in a battle for control of the Earth - and the insects will win. Prophetic - you might enjoy it:
The Hellstrom Chronicle (see 7:45 for thesis)

Here's the segment on ants - not fire ants, but bad ones for sure:
