Sunday, July 19- Part 2- Mt. St. Helen's

Sunday morning, after a scenic drive to Reflection Lake and Steven's Canyon, we headed south towards Mt. Saint Helen's. I have been searching the gift shops for Bigfoot souvenirs for Luke. For future information, at exit 20 of I-5 we hit the mother load. We were in Bigfoot Country. We were told that there have been more Bigfoot sightings here than in any other part of the country. After a tasty lunch at the 49'ers Restaurant we drove to the observatory overlooking Mt. Saint Helen's and arrived just in time for a wonderful film showing the eruption that occurred on May 18, 1980. We listened to a young ranger explain a little about volcanoes and the rebirth of a mountain following an eruption. We were certainly in awe of the landscape.
    Our trip is rapidly nearing it's end and we will be returning to the rains, and mosquitoes, of Ohio on Tuesday. I hope you have enjoyed following along with us. We have had many laughs and have enjoyed seeing this beautiful country where we live and basking in her beauty. God certainly knew what he was doing when he created this earth we live on.

Sorry, Luke, I don't think he will fit in my carry-on

I loved this t-shirt, Bigfoot doesn't believe in you either!
