On the evening of 19 July 2002 the Mothers Day Flow, which of course started on Mothers Day, was within a quarter mile of the end of Chain of Craters Road. I went to the end of Chain of Craters road at about 2300 on 19 July. I took some photos then slept in the car until 0400 20 July 2002. The film team from Pioneer TV showed up. I took them to the first flow which was near the Chain of Craters Road and then I took them to Highcastle Ocean Entry. They did an interview with me and we also did some pizza cooking as well!!. We left the field around noon to go get some lunch and then the team left for Oahu that night. Exhausted as I was I decided to go to Brian Elms' house, a friend in Mountain View, to take a small nap. Brian left around 1500 20 July 2002 only to return around 2100 that night with some good news. The lava has moved swiftly across the road and into the ocean. Jumpin' for joy Brian and I woke up around 0300 on 21 July 2002 to hit the road again!
