    Tomorrow it's going to be 75-78 and were headed up to a ride that goes around the backside of Mount Saint Helens and stopping at this view point of the back side of the Volcano.

    Naw on the other side it blew the whole top off plus one side completely out. Be a long time before it even thinks of blowing up again. We had 36 earth quakes on MT Hood a few weeks ago in one day. That had them a bit worried and that one is closer to home.
    View is from what's called Johnson Ridge where a guy named Johnson was viewing it and taking pics was killed when it blew.

    Here is a group shot of us today. We snagged some poor old lady to do it and she had never worked with a IPad, came out good though. :)

    Needed to move two snowblowers and the 4 wheeler to look at the bike again stuck in the corner of the shed on another cool, damp, cloudy Sunday. I am envious! Nice.
