OK, just got back from a massivly long hike! As I stated before, in search of lava. Were our efforts rewarded? Most definitly! Not only did we get within inches of flowing lava... the volcano actually erupted while we were there. I wouldnt believe it either unless I had been there. It wasnt a huge eruption, but it was spewing lava up into the air, I mean it was just like a godzilla film. (Although the only film being completed during the eruption was the Kungfu/Musical which nears completion!). I was a bit worried when the helicopter was flying around us with a spot light on us... (maybe we wasnt supposed to be there?) But I never saw the barrier that said do not pass this point. But alas I forgot my hotdog, so I could cook a hotdog on an active volcanoe... always next time I guess. (Of course the ranger said we probably wouldnt see anything anyway (boy was she wrong)).
Anyways... the adventure continues... we return to Oahu tomorrow. For all those taking notes. THE BIG ISLAND IS VERY VERY COOL! Pictures, videos n such in the future!

Posted by: Captian Jonathan!!! at December 25, 2003 10:08 AMJon asks all the pertinent questions, and all the ones I'd want to know myself. Either way, that sounds like fun, and I wouldn't mind hiking 18 miles if I got to see lava. Of course, I'd be dead once I got there, or I'd be so tired I'd throw myself in to end the pain (or start the pain, not sure which) but it does sound like a ton of fun my friend Jeremy. Oahu eh? Keep having fun, things are good here. Um. . .sort of. At least they will be when you get back. HAHAHAHA. . .cough, ahem, well I better go do some work. See ya.

Posted by: Captian Jonathan!!! at December 25, 2003 11:11 AMJon, Jon, Jon. I'm pretty sure the pain would only begin there. I'd probably survive but be horribly disfigured, causing me a life time of rage and hatred in which I'd strike down those who were closest to me, eventually having to face my son who is bent on convincing me of the errors of my ways. In the end, to save his life, I'd sacrifice my own, and then I'd die anyway, though having suffered well over 25 years. Is that the kind of life that ends the pain? Didn't you see any of the Star Wars movies, or at least enough to surmise the plot? Foolish young padawan, there is much to learn yet.
Posted by: Mindless Intelligence at December 25, 2003 05:00 PMSeriously dude, the stuff is like 2000 degrees. You're not gonna survive that. Getting disfigured is what happens when your car catches fire with you in it, not what happens when you jump in a pool of lava. You'd be falling towards it and get hot, burst into flames, and then dissapear all together, respectivly, that is. Trust me J man, I know my fire.
Posted by: Captian Jonathan!!! at December 25, 2003 05:29 PMI could engage in debate with you all day, but I just looked up lava, and yes its hot. I was referring to Star Wars, not trying to prove my point, but to be funny. Apparently I failed miserably.

Posted by: Misti at December 28, 2003 10:38 PMMy bad. Missed the allusion there.
Posted by: Captian Jonathan!!! at December 29, 2003 09:08 AMIf your ever hiking up a Volcano,
and you come across a molten hot flow of lava,
and you drop you keys in it,
don't bother picking them up,
cause their gone.
