The record — long form
Thurston is the Nahuku — the 'protuberances' that's the named, the '1913' that's the found. The 'Thurston' is the promoter — the 'park' that's the made, the 'ladder' that's the improvised. The 'souvenir' is the stripped — the 'stalactites' that's the gone, the 'troglobites' that's the left.
The '500-year' is the flow — the 'Kilauea' that's the source, the '2,000°F' that's the ran. The 'rainforest' is the through — the 'fern' that's the walk, the 'skylights' that's the collapsed. Thurston is the visited — the '400-foot' that's the lit, the 'most popular' that's the park.
The file keeps Thurston: the Nahuku name, the 1913 Thurston, the souvenir stripped, and the 500-year flow.
