It was like gazing down the barrel of God's shotgun.
That’s the one that reminds me of a nuclear detonation.
When a mountain is growing by over a foot a day, my instincts are to run away as quickly as possible. (drive, really)
Now THAT is really something to think about!!! May I borrow,beg or steal it ?
>>>Got to visit St. Helens in 2012 and looked south at the mountain from the observatory.
I first visited in 1989...when there was only a crude asphalt strip laid down for auto traffic and most of the fallen trees had been ‘harvested’ by Wayerhauser (the massive lumber corp of the area). I paid to see the theater show (at the new observatory) of the blast which ended with curtains opening up in front of windows that gave line of sight view straight towards the business end of the mountain. Honestly...that few second sight forever altered my meaning of existence.
We are not of this world.....
We are only passing through.
