There are 3 other regions north of the current flows of Kalapana that have had flows since 1840.
The furthest north occurring in 1840 was through the Nanawale Forest Reserve and near Honolulu landing. The village (Honolulu landing just outside and North the Nanawale reserve) was abandon in 1924 during the quakes and ground collapse along the shore including a black sands beach at Honolulu Landing. There remains a portion of the black sands beach that was once there and as these regions are concerned, such a park could be built while preserving remnants of the village for historical interests if any are on public owned lands. If such areas are not preserved via park efforts they will be swallowed and destroyed by vegetation as is currently happening. The black sands beach at Honolulu Landing was created by the cinder cones that emerged during the 1840’s eruption and the cinder cones are now known as “Sand Hills” and are located in the Nanawale forest reserve. The hills are a natural nearby source of black sands for such a project. At this time “Sand Hills” and the surrounding area merely serve as a place for folks to tear up with quads and other off-road machines. The area also serves as an illegal dump site by those who would do so. It will take a “presence” to stop such activity and a new beach park would provide that presence while serving the public with an awesome beach park instead of a largely abused area.
South East of the 1840’s flows we’ve the 1960’s flows below the light house on the most easterly point of the island, Point Kumukahi with a great deal of shoreline.
South West of the 1960’s flows we’ve the 1955 flows around Kahena of which are perhaps no use regarding such an endeavor.
Considering all those areas and contemplating Kalapanas current situation. The Nanawale Forest Reserve flows of the 1840’s complete with sand onsite might be the better of all publically owned available areas and it’s one not yet cited in this topic.
Any thoughts regarding the Nanawale Forest Reserve flows of 1840 and the "Sand Hills" cynder cone region? The area is largely abused at this time and also used as an area to abandon or hide crime evidence. In essence we would be removing an illegal dump and providing presence within an area that is currently abused. In essence... killing two birds with one stone.
