"Anyone else notice the protesters are now building a guava-pole structure and a wooden deck on the Hilo side of Saddle across from the access road intersection now? Glad we are paying all these county and state agencies overtime to enforce the law up there..."
I saw the deck, a couple of hundred yards before the intersection driving from Hilo, but wasn't sure if I saw the guava-pole structure. Would it be another couple of hundred yards before the deck? I saw something weird being built there.
It was also interesting to see many camping sites are well away from the encampment including along the Mauna Loa road, almost if they are outcasts, and then there's Mr. Lava Tube - an interesting and innovative choice for his residence.
No problems with access today, but the woman at the protestor's checkpoint wasn't very friendly although coming down, the guy who took over at least acknowledged us and cracked a smile when we said hello.
