Mount St Helens

Mount St Helens has been a bit more active recently. Scientists are saying small earthquakes under the crater are magma moving around. They say you can see steam coming out of the crater. Dad thought I could go check it out, but suggested I not get too close. I did that Friday, May 13th. Johnston Observatory didn't open until the next day, but I didn't realize the last 5 miles of the road would still be closed as well.  Still, it was too nice a day not to get out of the office and hit the road (and it was going to rain Saturday).

You can see the steam in the photos.
