Learned a few new things last week, leading to this week's posting:
The town of Orting, in Washington, sits right on top of the landslide deposits from the Electron mudflow generated by Mount Rainier.
A buried tree stump excavated from the Electron mudflow.
Ash layers from Mt. St. Helens. I learned last week that after the 1850 BC eruption, the native population abandoned the area for about 2000 years. That's a pretty long length of time for "you don't want to live in that neighborhood" to get passed along around the campfire.

Now that's a tree stump!
Karl Rove outed a clandestine Tree Stump.
"Karl Rove outed a clandestine Tree Stump."
And it donned some nice headgear for a photo op, too. Just like the Dims' own double-ought spy, Valerie Plame.
The residents of Orting have only a 15 minute window of escape should Mt Rainier decide to slough off one of its' glaciers. It doesn't need to erupt to do that.
It's a pretty town in a valley - never a good thing around here.
yeah, those glasses plame wore totally confuse people as to what she looks like. NOT
