The road barricade was enforced Saturday & today for a blessing, this included walking & biking IN through the barricade, but did not stop the hike over lava & back onto the road at the kipuka pullouts, nor did it stop hiking, skateboarding or biking back to MacKenzie on the road... or even the hike all the way on the new lava trail, something many of us have been doing for a while.... some more intrepid than us with full surfboards...
The road area has not been officially opened - so they did not actually CLOSE anything... it is already closed, those of us that have gone around the barricade are entering a closed area... & the county has stated that it will not BE officially opened until the Isaac Hale facilities are ready.... this is more of a safety & sanitation thing....
Good news is the officers we talked to today at the barricade stated that the public will be able to legally use the road in 2 weeks... so not too bad considering it was only finished last week... & they gotta get those facilities up & running so (hopefully) folks will not leave their... errr... mmm... bits all over the area!
