It still is a thrilling mountain to me. Isn't it a treat when the clouds clear and Mount St. Helens comes into view? <br /><br />bfk~ Thank you on both counts. <br />My room is clean. It is the organization of all the loose pictures contained in two trunks and untold cardboard boxes (most of the boxes are in the storage unit) that I have to first wrap my mind around and then dig into...I would hire someone to do it for me but it just isn't that kind of project. Ugh.<br /><br />Tumblewords~ The ash fallout gave everyone a good idea of the post-blast appearance of the mountain itself, on a less dense and less intense scale that is. :)<br /><br />Owen~ Me too!<br /><br />YogaforCynics~ How many years afterwards did you roam around the mountain? My husband and I climbed it with our hiking group from work in 1994. We ate our lunches sitting on the rim looking down at the dome, which was <em>much</em> more developed 14 years after I first saw it from inside the plane. I will post some photos from that marvelous hike someday...Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-81690202190141437562011-05-08T23:41:53.130-07:002011-05-08T23:41:53.130-07:00Wow...was gonna tell ya my own Mt.
