Yeah, lets all have fun safely. Sounds like a good motto. Maybe a good life theme. My neighbor went out to the flow yesterday and has lots of beautiful footage including some video of a woman in flip-flops walking onto a fresh lava flow. She took a few steps looked around, then down and and then stepped off of it. I bet she was smelling burnt rubber when she stepped back. Also there was a ranger out there scolding some of the visitors who were poking walking sticks into the flow and watching them catch fire. Is this considered taboo? An insult to Pele somehow? Isn't there a lava tour company called pokeastickinit.com ? Or something like that.
