If it's 2 miles mauka, that would put it at the Kipuka just west of the people who own Poke-A-Stick lava tours. They must have some sort of "contract" with KCT, because Poke-A-Stick allows them to park their white vans on Poke-A-Stick property.
Question 1: Why would a tour company allow a rival company to park on their property to conduct tours?
Fact: Bo wanted to build a parking lot because he was aware of people not having a safe place to park their personal vehicles. KCT shuttles their customers in white vans (past our old house).
An interesting occurrence: After the threat made by the lava tour guide, in uniform, by the way, I convinced Bo that we should bring the issue up to the lady up the hill who owns the land. I thought that any decent person would at the very least reprimand this man for threatening neighbors. Or even just for good business Public Relations. At this time, I mistakenly thought that there was only one company being conducted from her property, and that she was the owner. This was not the case. Anyways, we had been up on the mountain hiking, and saw her by her coconut trees. Bo had talked to her before, I hadn't met her though. Anyways, we took the wave as an invitation and chatted for a bit before broaching the subject of the tour guide's threats and trespassing. She completely disregarded our concerns, basically saying that it was his personality, and everyone just let him be, stepped aside for him to run his mouth. She then offered us a ride down on her 4-wheeler, it's actually a very long road down from her place. The original road to that house has been covered by lava. Oddly enough, the next day, our neighbor told us that she had told him that we had trespassed on her property and her daughters had seen us trying to steal, I'm not sure what though. I never spoke to her again, and we stayed out of their way as much as possible. This was the first indication that something odd was going on. Here you have a man, who is clearly easily angered and possibly violent, as testified from his own mouth, and people just let it slide. No one stood up to him, except us when we ordered him from our yard, and I fetched my camera and threatened him with that.
