The only problem was that it was cloudy all day and when you got up to the observatory the peak was covered in clouds, so we missed the dramatic view of the Volcano. Too Sad. But the history and the stories we read and heard were very interesting. A couple of the rangers told their stories of where they were when it happened. It really brought it to life. The pictures really don't do it justice. This is the best we could see, and that was when the clouds parted for a second.
This is what it should look like on a clear day. This was a picture of a picture I shot.
You can see some of the trees that were knocked down from the blast. It was pretty cool.
Now look at this picture, does it look blurry? It was an optical illusion with the trees. It was just so weird to look up at the mountains and there would be patcheds of blur. Wierd!!
Look who I found on our way back to Oregon. I tried to get him to come along, but the car was just not big enough.
After we left Mt. St. Helen's we drove all the way to the south end of Oregon and actually went into California for a bit and went through some Redwood country. So we got to see some big trees, before we got to the coast.
