Wonder if there is any new info from county and state officials on the proposal to open a viewing site. Meanwhile we have this stunning lava river flowing to the sea.....
Saw a video clip posted here a couple days ago; at least 50 people were standing watching the river: a mix of residents, scientists and civil defense workers (judged by their garb).
There's apparently some 60-80 homes stretched along the north side of the river; residents have various ways to walk over and see the view.
Reports are that resident entry is tough; every person in the resident's vehicle is closely questioned as to why they are entering the area.
Heard from a reliable source that one homeowner is sneaking in lava viewers in the trunk of his car for $100 bucks a head. He then walks them out to view the lava river.
Sheesh it's just about as hard to view the lava river from the ground as it was to cross the Berlin Wall post WWII.
Meaning, according to another resident, the tourist helicopters are flying like crazy. Would tourist buses to a viewing site, which might reduce the number of helicopter flights, be something the community could tolerate?
