Day 25

Today was reserved for a trip to Mount St. Helen’s National Volcanic Monument, which has both a state and national presence of several different agencies. This reserve of land was established just a few years after the infamous eruption in spring of 1980, which devastated the surrounding area and took the lives of 57 people.

I got my Junior Geologist Badge! This badge is dedicated to CS for not only donating to my cause but being dedicated to what he does by jumping feet first, full throttle into conservation and caretaking for the park he manages. He also has created and raised two fun, adventurous kids that I always enjoy talking to, on top of all that responsibility. He offers them a life of adventure and opportunity that I could have only dreamed of having.

Mt. Saint Helen’s was strikingly different from Mount Rainier; that distinct waft of sulfur hit me as soon as the car door opened at the National Forest visitor center. The mountain is moody and dirty and steaming. The land around it ravaged from the 1980 eruptions superheated mudslides and pyroclastic flows. It was a true sight to behold.

I earned my National Monument Junior Ranger badge up mauka on the slopes of the beast. This badge is dedicated to Leon, for donating, and giving me a nice surprise of a dream come true. You see, he found and read a book I wrote, even though he lives across the world. In a Welsh bookstore, he picked up my third book Ronnie vs. The People of Texas City and afterwards reached out to tell me how much he liked it. We’ve chatted every since and it’s such a dreamy way to make a friend across the globe. Thanks, Leon, for donating, and to making this little author’s heart happy. If anyone is interested in reading any of my novels, they are temporarily available again on Amazon at this link as both paperbacks and e-books:

I plan to donate any royalties I make from this temporary re-release before they go back into partial hibernation while I look for a traditional publisher. Overall, Mount St. Helen’s was a very touching place that had a somber feel to it, the way that Cliffs of Moher did. A place of power, violence, and possible destruction that should be respected and revered. It’s an awe-inspiring mountain, not just for its alien landscape, but for its story and capabilities. Watching the steam rise and seeing the discolored snow and glaciers (from ash settling and landslides), made me feel very lucky to have worked at Crater Lake in Oregon, which was a much larger and destructive flow by at least 50 times. How humbling this world can be!

We had some daylight left, so we headed about 40 minutes away to Halloweentown; St. Helens, Oregon. This is the quaint and charming town where multiple movies, including the Halloweentown series, were filmed. Although it was disappointing that their vending machine of Halloween themed merchandise was jumbled when it was stocked, so both things I paid for and received were incorrect, I still liked this town and hope to go back during Halloween time someday.

We cruised the streets and eventually ended up at a weekly town fair where we listened to music and ate ice cream. We did come to the conclusion that it seems like a very happy place to live and may be entirely filled with and run by children, who seemed to run wild in the streets in numbers I haven’t seen since before smart phones took over our brains. Oh, not only children, but dogs. There are so many dogs to pet here that your wrist will ache.

Until next time,

Haylan

Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument

We’re standing on the Boundary Trail at Johnston Ridge in the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. Forty years ago today, more than 44,500 hectares within Gifford Pinchot National Forest was dedicated to memorialise the deadliest and most destructive volcanic eruption in the United States. On 18 May 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted, forever changing the Washington landscape. The volcanic event started at roughly 8:30 on a Sunday morning with a 5.1 magnitude earthquake. This triggered what is known as a lateral eruption, which means the lava blast comes out of the side of the volcano, rather than the top, resulting in a massive avalanche and the destruction of about 388 square kilometres of surrounding forest.

The monument was established by President Ronald Reagan in 1982 to preserve the area for research, recreation and education. The land inside has been left to mostly recover naturally since the eruption. While it’s believed that Mount St. Helens will erupt again sometime within the next few centuries, that has not deterred people from hiking and climbing at the monument, which has been allowed since 1986.
