Pu'u O'o Trail hike to lava tube
Half the compound turned up for this hike. We did a nice loop up on saddle road, taking the Pu'u O'o trail ~4.5-5 mi to where it connects with the powerline road, then took the powerline road back about 1/2 mile to a fantastic ~mile long lava tube before continuing back 3 mi to the saddle road via the powerline road.
