Old Mt St Helens Before Photos

[freygr]

The MB photos in the rain forest, reminded me of the trail around Spirit Lake below Mt. St. Helens. I was not doing my job when I took some of these photos(I love auto focus).
The first photo is Mt. Adams from the top of Norway Pass.
Second Mt. Rainer from the top of Norway Pass.
Third trees around old mine cabin

I heard about how beuatiful she was before the eruption but never saw it even though I've lived in western Washington my whole life.
Thanks for sharing.

I remember the day she blew. Looking south from the Renton highlands nothing but black thick cloud.

I remember it also.I was living in North Dakota.As I recall for many days after the eruption dust/ash fallout was settling out.That's close to 1000 miles away! I can only imagine how bad it was local.

All the photos are are from the blast area. I do have some after photos but all the good photos would be good photos were taking with B&W and a folding 620 roll camera most don't have real good focus.........
