Julie,
if you open up Jim's PDF assessment:
http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1264/of2007-1264.pdf
go to page 6, look at the graphic showing pink-red lines that indicate where the topography indicates flows might travel. (due to steeper descent)
It is a long way to the ocean, and if the lava builds up new ground it changes the topography. So the paths are likely to change as it goes along.
There are some pink lines leading into Nanawele, more as a backtrack from Hawaiian Beaches approach than a direct line.
The straightest line goes right to where I almost bought a house this summer (Beach Rd. off Maku`u, adjacent to Shipman property on the south edge of HPP.) I was realy bummed I didn't get that house too.
So check out the map. It is pretty interesting.
