This “No Parking” sign stands firm in hardened lava as a reminder of how powerful and unpredictable Kilauea volcano is.  You can find this sign at the end of Chain of Craters Road in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.  In 2003 lava created a natural end to the Chain of Craters Road when lava flowed from the East rift across the road and into the ocean.

    Ha! Jimbo..that will make you think twice about parking in a no parking zone, huh?! :-)

    Oh, yeah. When that thing is moving, I don’t want to be anywhere near it.

    Yeah, that’d be a good idea, Jimbo. Moving lava might be a tad warm. :-)
