Vacation, Day 2 Mt. St. Helens

We traveled early Monday morning to Mt.  St. Helens to learn about the 1980 eruption and to see the crater left from the eruptions. The Johnston Ridge observatory had great interactive exhibits

 about the volcano and a movie about the volcano and the rebirth of life in the area. The sad part about this leg of the trip was that the wild fires in Washington and Oregon caused the crater to be virtually unviewable. There was a dense haze in front of everything. We could see a little bit not very much. 

We left Mt. St. Helens and headed to our cabin in Oregon.
