Day 4 - August 9, 1999








Panorama of Mt. St. Helens from the Johnston Visitor's Center

Mt. St. Helens

Johnston Ridge

This was a spectacular day. We had seen Mt. St. Helens from the air, but it has taken us 9 years to actually go see it from the ground (like Eisenhour's birth place perhaps?). It is truly an awesome place that you cannot even begin to fathom until you are standing there in front of it (like the Grand Canyon).

Hint: Lindsey is holding a piece of volcanic rock.
