Well, to be honest, I wasn't alive in 1978, so it's hard to imagine the road to kalapana open to the park..... Crazy to think how close we really are to volcano! When did the hippie influx start? I'd assume it was before 1978? I would say the biggest difference (not only in Hawaii, but everywhere) would be humanities advance in technology. It's really starting to take over. Sad really....
