Heading into Hilo on Saddle Road around Sunset<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we landed in Kona November 3, we learned that Episode 56 of K\u012blauea’s lava fountaining was forecast to occur between November 2 & 7. GREAT, given that our first order of business was to drive over Saddle Road to Hawai’i Volcanoes NP<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark>, for 2 nights at Volcano House<\/strong><\/mark><\/mark>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived at Volcano House<\/strong><\/mark><\/mark> just after sunset and when we got to our room overlooking the crater, we could see the lava flowing! SO COOL!<\/mark><\/strong> Episode 56 Event<\/strong> actually occurred November 5, 12:10 p.m. to 6:01 p.m.. It sent lava fountains up to 660′ high, an 18,000′ plume, and erupted about 8 million cubic yards of lava. We left Hawai’i Volcanoes<\/mark><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/mark> (spending our last hour at<\/strong> the overlook) at noon, missing it by just 10 minutes! Oh Well.<\/mark><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
