Road Closed Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Now I hate to be a spoil sport, but I think this sign might be fake. The reason is because it's pretty far from the road - like 30 feet away. It's also in remarkably good condition for a painted sign that sat just inches above molten rock. Anyone know the true story on this?

<em>Hawaii Day 5</em>
Today we went to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. What an amazing place! I am in awe.
We tool the Chain of Craters road all the way to the coast and had a great time climbing over the flow that covered the road just a few years ago. We also saw the petroglyphs near there, and hiked a few other spots, although it was raining pretty hard at some of the higher elevations.
This photo was just some random spot along the road... so crazy!

on December 7, 2010I am suspicious as well - I would expect that anything even remotely flammable would pretty quickly burn to a cinder when engulfed in molten rock. Hence, that wooden pole would be a tiny little lump of charcoal and I would guess the metal making up the sign would melt. Looks fake to me. Makes a great photo though. :D
