This morning the air was exceptionally clear and the mountains surrounding us, both the Cascades and the Olympics, were extremely visible. They were beautiful and Mt. Rainier looked huge! Then, as I was dropping my daughter off at the front of her school, we looked up and to the south and could see the plume of steam rising from Mount St. Helens. It was kind of exciting - especially for her. (During the erruption of 1980, my husband and I were able to see the ash plumes easily from the street in front of the house we were living in at the time. Now, I have another local vantage point to watch from.
