Nope - but another good stab. We've seen the wild donkeys of Waikoloa, BTW.

I'll wait for a day or so to give some others a chance to respond. There are some others who may catch the clue.
I've seen the signs for the donkeys. Have yet to see a donkey though.

On further thought - we've seen the goats, but not the donkeys.

Big Island. Could be lots of places.
We've only seen a sign buried like this once. This one is at the end of the road on Chain of Craters Road.

If you go there now it's changed. An emergency access road has been built past the sign, connecting with the Kalapana outside the park.

I have pictures of roads covered in lava, but you're right I haven't seen one with a sign buried like that.

Didn't they have signs like that at Royal Gardens?

Where is Royal Gardens?

In the Puna district. That community that was buried by lava years ago, left only one home standing.

There are lots of several cases of road signs half buried in lava. AFAIK - this is the only one that says "Road Closed". For awhile after the road was overrun with a lava, this one was a bit iconic - there used to be many pictures of it on the interweb.

The Puna district was where we were considering buying land and building a house. We didn't get terribly far looking into that as I decided I couldn't live on an island. But thank goodness as the area we were looking at was the one taken out a few years ago.

maybe yes but maybe no
You are correct. It is not the same location. But I know that one as well - different island from mine. The geologies of both sites are almost identical - hence the similarities.

This one is the same as yours.

So folks there are two locations to identify - similar, but different.

Not yours. The one @burg1121 posted. And it looks like from his response :cheer:I was correct.
I would have been surprised if you didn't identify it. It is visible in another pic upthread.

Yes, but my memory is very bad. And I didn't look upthread. ;)
