Claude continues: I found a promising result! Let me fetch the full content from the Footloose Forester article about lava flows at Grants, NM that mentions pahoehoe lava.

Yes! I found that Footloose Forester (Dick Pellek) did write about pahoehoe lava in his chronicle "Lava Flows At Grants, New Mexico." Here are the details:
Article Title: "Lava Flows At Grants, New Mexico"
Author: Dick Pellek (Chronicles of a Footloose Forester)
Key Details about Pahoehoe Lava:
Footloose Forester observed pahoehoe lava fields near Grants, New Mexico during a road trip on US Interstate 40. He described seeing "the pahoehoe type of lava fields up close that are equally jet black, suggesting that they are as fresh as similar flows on the flanks of the active Kilauea Crater volcano in Hawaii."
Specific Observations:
- The lava flows visible from Interstate 40 near Grants appear "remarkedly fresh" with a "stark color contrast with the surrounding environs"
- He compared the jet black appearance to similar pahoehoe flows at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano
- While Kilauea's surface lava blankets are "no more than 200 years old in some places," the New Mexico lava field is "at least 3,000 years old"
- He noted the complex topography at nearby El Malpais National Monument, including "huge lava tubes that resemble long caves"
- The terrain is so broken that "it is quite probable that no human being has ever once walked a straight line, for as little as 100 yards"
The article is part of his travel chronicles documenting a cross-country journey that covered 5,385 miles through 18 states, with the pahoehoe lava fields being one of the highlights he called a satisfying serendipity of the trip.
The location of buried gold is a scam. Read the associated chronicles to learn why.
All of the personal information originally provided by Footloose Forester was confined to a single chronicle written in 2014, but the expansive list of references provided by Claude validates the geological aspects of pahoehoe lava to the point of making a layman's story sound believable. And the Claude presentation reads like something out of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
