St. Helens

I heard it blow in 1980. I was on a tree planting crew up in the mountains north of Squamish. None of the city slickers heard a thing, far as I know.

Coming from the West side of the Cascades, we always thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal to lose Spokane to Idaho or Canada.

I will be returning to Washington for a visit, first time I have spent Christmas in Washington for 13 years, and am planning to drive to the St. Helens area. I think my children would like seeing an active volcano. I did have to promise my wife I would make sure there was no imminent threat like the other week.

Are you crazy? We’d have to close our wineries then!
