Mt St Helens… It’s Been 29 Years!

May 18, 2009

On this day 29 years ago I saw something that I’ll never forget. I was 10 years old and just sitting down to breakfast with my family. We had the television on and they broke in saying that Mt St Helens was finally blowing (she’d been teasing for a couple months). We [...]
