* Mt. Saint Helens *

On my motorcycle trip I decided to take the ride up to the Mt. Saint Helens volcanic area in Washington. This was such an awesome ride and an incredible experience. As you can see it looks like the volcano is still erupting. Actually the clouds you see in this image are ash slides down the inside of the crater. 

Thinking about the fact that this mountain blew up way back on May 18, 1980, it is truly amazing to see this ominous sight, as the whole area looks as if the devastation has just recently occurred.
