Day #12 - Mt. St-Helens Day Hike

Yesterday we left Portland for Seattle via Mt. St-Helens.  We stopped for a couple hours and did a short hike.  It was pretty cool seeing the mountain with our own eyes.  We walked up through a lava rock field and through the forest.  The trail itself was ashy in places.  My great aunt June lived in Coos Bay, Oregon several hundred miles away and sent us a bag of ash from her picnic table from when the volcano erupted back in 1980.

Today we are planning to do a hop on hop off bus tour in Seattle.  Should be another fun day!
