Volcano

Volcano -- aka Volcano Village -- is the last version of a town before you get into miles of volcanic land and enter the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. They have a few fuel pumps, a teeny grocery store and cafe, and a goodly number of cottages for rent to visiting tourists (and presumably, ducks).

The post office is always a decent stand-by for signs when there's no other signs to be had. A clever revenue stream for this fraternal organization: run the place as a lodging for tourists. An artsy sort of sign on the side of the general store, but Kilauea is just the name - it's here in town.

This is one of the few markets -- next to the sign above -- that also offers gas along the bit of highway. The volunteer fire department's one station, complete with a goal of raising $80K for a fire brush truck. The area is jam-packed with cute little cottages and houses, many for rent to the occasional tourist.
