Darren Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 On May 18, 1980, but I'm sure we all know that. Brenda and I went for a drive today to check it out. Photos were taken at various view points/observatories/parks along Spirit Lake Highway (SR504). It was amazing how nice the weather was, at 4,000 ft in October it was to warm to wear a coat. On the way back we ate at the Toutle Dinner, great food, I'd highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCJeepMJ Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Just one state north of me and I haven't been there. Shameful. Edit: Portland Trailblazers?!? Ewwww!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Oh good. It looks like they got the guard rails in. :D When I was there, the road was paved, but the rails hadn't been completed yet. Quite a fun drive with nothing between you and the thousand foot plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you’re in this part of the world, you’ll need to let us know. I’m sure I’m not the only CC member that would like to meet up with you. And depending on the economy, who knows probably even buy you a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I thought I wasn't allowed to travel without giving out a full itinerary. :hmm: :D That trip past ST Helens was a looong time ago. '96 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallisek Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I climbed Mount St Helens a few years back. I was dead tired by the time I reached the top but the view was well worth it. About half way up where it gets really rocky, you tend to get mobbed by squirrels. They obviously are hand fed because they will try to climb up your pants. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigalpha Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The woman and I went there last year. Even better for us because we're geologists :banana: Click for Bigger The Toutle Diner -- was that the place that used to be a house and is right on the river?
