This is the jewelry box.  The darker wood is cedar and the lighter is lemon:

This is from a couple years back from Volcano NP looking north.  The mountain is Mauna Kea, you can see how desolate the area is.



And this is the Kilaeua caldera:

This road is in the NP, that is Mauna Kea in the background, slowly rising up, you can't see it all:

The Big Island is roughly 100 miles across in both directions.  The "Saddle Road" connects the sunniers western side with Hilo in the east (which looks more like what you think of as Hawaii).  It passes between the two tall volcanoes and on a clear day gives spectacular views.  It reaches an elevation over 6,600 feet.  It was fairly recently improved from more of a cart path to a nice two lane highway.

It appears highly likely it's going to be cut in a few days.  It traverses an area of "fresh" lava flows from the last eruption of Mauna Loa (some 38 years past).  The area is amazingly desolate.

Back from a long football weekend. Friday in Cincinnati to visit with some of the kids, Saturday in Columbus for The Game, Sunday in Cleveland for Browns Game. Monday at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Very glad to be out of the cold. Heading out Saturday to New Orleans for a Western Caribbean Cruise.  Wife's job gives her a 4 week sabbatical every 5 years and so she is off all month and I will be taking some time off with her to do some other short trips throughout December.

We have planned to visit with most of the family next December.  This would be something to see I think.  The Saddle Road is going to be hit, maybe they are able to build a quick bypass?

If the lava flow stops coming, they can sort of do that.  The lava often solidifies with large gaps and holes in it.  But it can be pulverized fairly easily to generate a straight path.  The Chain of Craters road was never repaired.  There the lava flow was too broad and continuing.

Drive Chain of Craters Road - Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)

During the eruption of Puʻuʻōʻō, lava flowed repeatedly over Chain of Craters Road/Highway 130. The park's acreage was been increased by hundreds of acres and nearly 9 miles (14.5 km) of road were inundated by the flows. In June 1989, Waha‘ula Visitor Center and associated buildings were burnt and covered by lava. The Waha‘ula Heiau was surrounded by lava more than once and finally buried entirely in August 1997. The Kamoamoa village site, heiau, campground, picnic area, and black sand beach were covered by lava in November 1992.
