Thinking about moving to the Big Island?

Read The Lure of Life on Lava: I had to laugh about the volcanologists saying to each other "What are those people thinking?" about people who have built homes in areas that have recently been covered with lava.

If you ever happen to drive to the flow from the Kalapana side, you'll see a few trailers up and land demarcations indicating places where homes used to stand, and now these people have nothing except an acre of hot, barren lava field to live on.
