Thank you Kathy for the link and the synopsis. Very insightful and will come in handily for the future of Puna. Knowing the history is essential when working the path ahead.
Puna isn't much different, other than weather and rain, than here in rural CA where I have lived on and off for 25 years. 7 miles from town, 20 unimproved acres, pay for electric and telephone lines put in well for water, no fire hydrants, live on a 1 mile gravel road, County Sheriff slow services (thankfully never needed), pay going tax rate same as everyone else. I have beautiful night skys, peace and quiet, wild life is abundant, and incidentally the best elementary school in the county! Go figure.
Where ever you go there you are.
