@kimo: Tho I share your dream I doubt it's doable. Lava traverse there would be a mile, the pile is quite high, and the lava is super roughest A'a there. Also, the historic flows there have left lava tubes under everything in that area, it remains to be seen if that pattern was repeated recently. But as a cautionary note, I have seen many tubes collapse near by, tubes that were regularly traversed from above and within, and also know a fellow that spent a day in a puka. He was one of the lucky ones as he was retrieved hardly worse for wear.
The usual menehuna will doubtless survey and wear a trail across there sooner than later, but I expect it will be no walk in the park for a while.
