Mt. St. Helen's

We made it! Here I am with the north slope of Mt. St. Helen's behind
me where the volcanic eruption in May 1980 blew out the north side and
totally changed the drainage below. The top of the mountain fell into
the crater, and then new magma pushed up and partially filled in the
crater later. All in all, the mountain lost 1,300 feet! Today is a
sunny, hazy, windy day, but not too hot yet.
