Sunday afternoon was spent packing up camp and exploring Mt. St. Helens.   On a sunny Sunday afternoon, May 18th 1980 to be exact, the spots that I stood on were under a barrage of volcanic mudlfows, ash fallout and utter destruction.   It started with an earthquake that registered 5.1 on the Richter scale and melted into a rock debris avalanche that took out 150 square miles of prime forest land. What lay before me was an incredible regeneration and evidence that powers, much greater than our human minds can construct,  chart the paths of life on this planet. There were numerous landmarks that described what was taken away, but more satisfying were those that showed the power of nature and her healing ways.   St. Helens rises and fills the landscape, drawing you to her power and beauty that is elemental to the mountains on our globe.   Check out Mt St Helens map and pics below.
