Difficult subjectYou have put together a nice album centered on an ugly mountain. I started backpacking in 1945 at YMCA camp at Spirit Lake. I hiked and camped in the area with my family and friends many times up until the big eruption. It was a beautiful mountain and Spirit Lake was a truly special place. We cried the morning of the eruption.
The next time you come to the northwest, try central Oregon where they have not had eruptions for 1300 years.

Re: Difficult subjectThank you! I still see beauty in the current Mt. St. Helens but I understand how someone who grew up knowing the mountain as it was could miss its beauty and grandeur.
I definitely want to visit Oregon next time I get to the left coast; it's one of the 4 states I've yet to see!
