Mauna Loa is still erupting. A lobe of the flow cut acroos the access road to the Mauna Loa Weather Observatory and is heading toward Saddle Road connection the East and West sides of the island. It could reach Saddle Road in a couple of days. The latest probable path puts it in the vicinity of the access road to the Mauna Kea Observatories. Below is a USGS photo of the rift zone activity.
We will talk about restaurants, current events, the culture of the island and anything else that strikes our fancy.
