2004 Wayne and Joe's Volcanic Adventure

Wayne Elston and Joe Rogers organized a weekend campout at Blue Lake Creek Campground, in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens, on October 1,2&3. We toured well over 200 miles of paved, gravel and dirt backroads, leading to views of Mt. Adams, Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens. It was our odd luck, that on Friday Qct. 1st, Mt. St. Helens woke up after 24 years of quiet. We saw none of Friday's eruption from where we were, but the volcano is building for another eruption at any time. Here are some pictures of the event.
