Really not all that exciting as it sounds. I was on a trip with my ASOF group to the big island during this trip we did a hike to the erupting volcano Kilauea. It sucked. First off we had about twenty people in the group and 10 flashlights, by the time it got dark only 6 were still working. We hiked along a paved trail for a good two miles before reaching the point where the lava destruction began. From then on it was a perilous three mile further journey over an unpredictable rocky landscape. There were hills and sink holes, little light so footing was all guess work and after a good couple hours of it we finaly got to the lava and I had forgotten to bring a stick to poke it with! The lava was cool to watch however, bloody hot though! We chilled around for around an hour trying to take pictures but none seemed to come out very well, chucked rocks to make the bubbles explode and then returned back home. It took four hours to get back, four hours to walk three miles! I still have the scars running along my legs from a few to many missteps. Good story, not so good time.

That's too bad that seeing the volcano wasn't that impressive. I'm actually going to see Arenal volcano in Costa Rica in less than two months.
