We have moved about a hundred miles or so to Seaquest SP outside Castle Rock WA. Our reason for coming here is to tour Mt Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument. Where were you May 18, 1980? We got here in time to tour a visitor center run by the state. Nice layout, very informative. One thing I learned that I did not know, or had forgot, was the eruption took off 1300 ft of height from the mountain. Think about that a minute or so. That is a lot of mass hurled northward at nearly 400 miles per hour. Will drive up to it tomorrow and hope it is clear.
