"being in the Red Zone about 5 miles upwind of Mt. St. Helens when it blew on May 18, 1980,"


Wow, so was I! I was downwind, but man, the blast shook the paintings off the walls, broke dishes, windows, you name it, and the ash downpour over the next few days was NOT fun to clean up! That summer I had a job picking strawberries, they were covered with ash, and it rained nearly the entire summer. Wet, soggy, ash covered strawberries all day long... to this day I can't eat them. lol. The next St. Helens blast I also witnessed, from the Tacoma Club (which is at top of one of the highest buildings in Tacoma). That was a wild sight to see.


I have a lot of other things way in common with Eshy, and he's always been someone I've admired and respected on these boards. In a nutshell: Eshy rocks. (Plus, he lives in my home, which some day I'll get back to, so I envy him, too!)

Thanks Ling


We were at the Greatful Dead concert during the second eruption, the one that hit Portland with a bit of ash fall. I still remember Bobby coming up to the mic, saying something like, "Well, St. Helens just erupted", and the band swinging into, of course, Fire on the Mountain.


Good memories. There are a lot of those I have, too, in case someone thinks my story was all bad all the time. It wasn't.
