Mount Saint Helens

Mt. Saint Helens is the volcano that blew on May 18, 1980. I lived four miles south of the Canadian border at the time and heard it blow. It is located outside of Kelso/Longview, Washington.

Beautiful shot. I rearly get to see that mountain since you really can't get a view of it from I-5. We need to take the girls down there.

Beautiful

[Jane Pittenger]

Boy, we get shots all the way North!

It doesn't have that nice conical shape to it anymore does it?

I was living in Northern California and we got dusted by it on its second eruption later in May. The wind was blowing a different direction that day.

Was a gray dy, two days after in Colorado when it went on the 18th.

you can see it on a clear day just before you get to the Narrows bridge, east bound.

I was working in the Fremont area the day it exploded. You could see the black cloud trail in the sky. What a beautiful shot.

I remember the ashes from that eruption. We lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba at the time- half way across N America and our skies were darkened for a day. The winds were just coming our way back then. Can you see Mt Baker from where you are? Or too far north.

It is an interesting place to visit. They have a great visitor's center there too.

It's like the day Kennedy was shot; we all remember where we were and what we were doing.
