Lava Hiker Rescued

[Devany]

This girl is obviously three quarters short of a dollar in the brain department. It would be good if the County sent her a bill, but they won't, it would be bad PR, as she is probably a tourist. There is a show about stupid people that do stupid things like that. If you drink and drive and crash, you don't have to pay the rescue squad either.

I guess the fire department can count it up to a training exercise that ended well. People go out and swim in high surf or areas that are off limits all of the time and the authorities often have to rescue them, or fish their bodies out of the water.

OK, while we are on the subject of lava viewing... can someone tell me how to do it the right way? We have never done it and would really like to now that we are sitting around waiting for our things to arrive. I know that we need to go at dusk, bring a flashlight, bring water, wear sturdy shoes... but that is all I know. I have seen the signs on the road directing people to the viewing area. Other than that... I would appreciate some advice from the savvy folks here.

Aloha au i Hawai`i,
