Is this what tourists should be doing with Pele's Lava?

By the looks of this new slow moving flow heading NE. It may take some time to move down the mountain due to the gradual slope and its terrain. What I am seeing though is a wider path, that spreads out farther. Hawaiian acres, Ainaloa, eventually Paradise park look like the eventual path. So is there any way to cut trails from say 1 0r 2 road in Hawaiian acers, Would be a great adventure. Personally I have walked well over 12 miles roundtrip to sit next to the flows down in Kalapana at least 2 dozen times. And looking at the distance through those woods right now looks a whole lot shorter?. The flow does not seem to be in the VNP so how possible could this be now?. If I go for it, should I leave markers along the way, and what kind of markers?. Down Kalapana I used the glow sticks and large built fires to guide directions when there is no moon. Anyway this may not be lunch on the crater, but the flow does cook a good steak by close hangers. And the sounds, sights, and warmth are just some of the amazements.
Guess it's ok for Gyp to go out and play with lava.
