Lava Molds Volcano Nation Park Hawaii Traditional Cache

This cache is continuing to show some of the places we vistied while in Hawaii. BYOP. This is a small container with small swag but not much room for TB. Please put back as you found it so it won't get muggled.​ Not exactly a lava mold here but when found you'll get the idea.

A small fork road heading east just after the start of Mauna Loa Road leads to a series of tree molds that formed when lava poured through the deep tropical forest. The trees were too wet to burn and the lava simply cooled around the trunks. Later, as the trees rotted, these unusual, deep pit molds were left behind. Definitely worth a visit, there are even pit toilets available​. The geocaching app helped us find so many places and interresting things we never knew existed
