Description

Today, I did solo walk to the lava fields as I was unable to contact Brave Terry. It is not recommended to walk alone. Last week, a guy was lost for 2 days in the lava field. He was lucky. Last month, they carried a young girl student out of the lava field. When they got back, I told the tour guide to wipe her down with a cool wet rag (bring her body temperature down). I also suggested that they take her to the hospital. Today, the same tour company was out in the lava field. I asked their guide about that young girl. They said she was ok. Aloha and thank you for viewing

WOW! What a shot! You know those Lava fields are so dangerous right? The LAVA can jump/pop from under the ground in no time and reason! Love the shot and the centered piece of LAVA [Nose] looks just fine! Hummm...Did you try to look for real big pieces of DIAMONDS! :D Thank you for the post and sharing your art my friend and have a nice day/night JOE

Dear Errol, I'm glad she was OK!!! It could be a heck of a lot worse!! I'd be fraid not only of getting lost, but of falling into a lava tunnel or something. I too think you would make a great guide! Not only for your knowledge, but also because of your love for the place!! That always shows through!! Hmmm - do you have cell hone service there? Some places get blocked because ofthe terrain - like in Bryce Canyon. You can call from the road, but if you start down a trail there is too much rock around you. If the cell phone works, at least folks could call for help. And if the phone has a GPS built in, they could be found pretty easy! And yes - I've used mine that way before - "Hello - could you tell we where I am?? I'm blond!!" It works everytime!!!! Super capture!!! The red looks hot, but I'll bet the "gray crusted" areas are pretty toasty, too!!!!! Love ya!!! Meredith
