COMMENT: Tue Aug 12 19:40:07 GMT 2003 Humvee roadblock near Puu Huluhulu this morning. The soldier checked the GSA license plate and then the driver backed the Humvee into the lava field to let me pass. Those Humvees have great ground clearance, they backed theirs down a 18"+ dropoff from the shoulder of the road. The security is due to some new weapons exercises happening on the military controlled land below the observatories. MKIV COMMENT: Tue Aug 12 20:57:48 GMT 2003 CEntered occulting.
