We are off again. After spending the weekend at the rv repair center, we got things fixed and are on the road. We spent last night in a campground outside Mount Saint Helens National Monument. When we got got set up for the night we headed to the volcano. The views were spectacular. The damage it caused when she blew 27 year ago is still very evident. On the way back we saw elk on top of the mountain (pic above). There were 4 in this group, 3 big ones and a baby. Saw 2 other elk in the woods but couldn't get a good pic of them. They say the blast of the eruption caused 700 mile an hour super heated wind clearing everything for miles around. You can see the mud flows around the base. Moved on to Olympic National Park area today. We will stay here for a few days to visit the park and look around the area. Hope to get a lot of pics in the park tomorrow. Taking it easy for the rest of today.
Till next time
Duane and Louise
