We had planned on doing this trip to see Mt St Helen’s, either Monday or Tuesday, but after checking the weather it looked like Sunday was the best day for weather. We had 120 mile drive and certainly didn’t want to get up there, and not be able to see it… We made the right decision..it was a perfect day, with very few clouds..
Look at all the wood at this logging plant….
A first glimpse, many miles away…
And we stopped at all the visitors centers all the way up…
After 31 years, still signs of the devastation..
New growth…
Waterfalls..
Roadside snow…
Kids having fun…
Picnics anywhere….
The intense movie about the eruption…
And then the curtains open to this….
Outside on the deck…
We loved it, and feel so very fortunate to have had the opportunity to experience this…
On the way down, it was time for a late lunch….
Overlooking this river…
We ended our perfect day, sharing this homemade mountainberry cobbler….

Loved the pictures, our visit was a cloudy day, so we really didn't get to see the "real" thing. Love the jewelery made out of the ashes from when it blew.
See ya soon, hugs
