@coreybarnett85: I finally made it to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and I got to see Kīlauea volcano up close for the very first time! Y’all, I ain’t never seen a volcano in my entire life, and this was one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced! It wasn’t erupting while I was there, but just standing there looking at an actual volcano was absolutely incredible. I continued exploring and came across all these openings in the ground with steam pouring out of them! There was this unusual fragrance in the air that reminded me of walking into one of those fancy home stores. I was breathing in all this steam and volcanic mist, not realizing at the time that volcanic gases might not be the healthiest things to inhale. I kept hiking and stopped to read the informational plaques along the trail. And I’m going to show y’all something: when you come across these signs, you’re actually supposed to stop and READ them! That’s how you learn something about the places you’re visiting! Then I came across an area where a little boy had reportedly fallen into a hole in the ground and suffered terrible burns. That’s a pretty frightening reminder of just how dangerous the ground around an active volcano can be. Eventually, I made my way back toward the volcano overlook, where I spotted a very special couple standing right on top of the rock wall! Apparently, these two people had some kind of special privileges that the rest of us didn’t have, because they were the only ones allowed to stand up there! I sure wish I had those kinds of privileges! 😂 All joking aside, this was one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever visited. There’s something incredible about standing on top of an active volcano and realizing just how powerful our planet really is. #Hawaii #VolcanoesNationalPark #Kilauea #BigIslandHawaii #TravelAdventures
