Humbling Beauty

I went to Mount St Helens for the Labor Day Weekend. I've been here two years and haven't been yet!! What a humbling experience. To understand the force and power of the eruption made you feel very small and powerless. The power that ripped the trees from the ground and then the devastation from the mudslides. The last eruption occurred on May 18, 1980 yet you can still see much of the damage. It is still rumbling but nobody knows for sure when it will blow again. Mount Rainier is also a major concern out here. I'm safe for the most part. The most I would probably see is lots of ash but no lava or mudflows. :)
