I do agree with some of what you say Bananahead, The part I have a problem with is the encouragement to walk these dangerous shelves and benches. I am still amazed by the large bench or shelf out in front of uncle Robert's, and that it has been so stable. That area of coconut trees was pretty deep waters just a few decades ago. There have been benches collapse that were as large as 4 or 5 football fields, and people have died from past collapses. I Sometimes went out and tried to stay on what use to be the highway before it was covered, I figured this way my tax- dollars did not go to waste and the grounds should be more solid with less chance of volcanic hazards. Other times I would walk the coast like you are saying but even then I found myself at least 100 yards from the ocean so I was still trespassing. P.S. No one told me I was going to die if I go, if they had I would not take kindly to the choice of words.
