My geology class at hcc in honolulu in 68 said no eruption has ever lasted over 9 years! So much they've learned on this one and at such a price! We waited 5 years for them to complete chain of crater roads after mauna ulu did it's deed, opening kalapana up as a bailout center from fern forest deluge, we wait again! Kalapana gardens was being heavily promoted at 10K for a sunny paradise, 1 acre with paved roads, almost bought one but couldn't sell our forest lot! My condolences to those who lost their homes!
