I remember camping on this mountain a year before it erupted. The day it erupted, we were living in Tacoma, Washington. It was a Sunday morning, the ground tremored, and we heard a loud explosion, we looked to our southeast and the ash was so high, it blocked the sun, The gasses were so hot , the mountain created its own lightning. It was bright red. After that we had to wear bandanas to prevent us from breathing the ash as it lingered for days! RobMc, StormCrow and FRENCHI 3 Awards

Never did make it out there. Grandpa passed away in 84. We did make it up to Canada in time for Salmon that year though. It was an awesome experience. Elvis9 1 Awards
