I knew a guy in Hilo who used to walk out from the place where lava crossed the road (that is probably not there anymore but you remember) with an Instamatic Camera and get some great pics of molten lava. You gotta be really careful to do that. He'd go after midnight when all the rangers were gone. He worked at a hotel so he made a lot of money selling directly to the tourists and me too. I used to have an apartment at Kona Magic Sands. We used to call it Tragic Sands because so many couples broke up there, or worse. You live on Hilo side? Black Sand Beach is under lava? Damn. The turtles. The turtles. That's the good thing about Hawaii lava—it's slow.
