Two photos of Mt. St. Helens taken yesterday. It was a bit hazy, but the area is spectacular in an awesome, hard to believe way. The National Park has several visitor centers focusing on different aspects, but the last one, closest to the volcano is the most amazing. The films, info panels, photos, and other displays only hint at what must have happened if you were in the area in May 1980. I vividly remember the news reports of the bulge growing in the volcano and people waiting with great interest or fear depending on circumstances.
wow...it doesn't look like much vegetation has filled in since i was there-fairly soon after the eruption
