Mailbag: Mount St. Helens Anniversary
Cynswm: I'd like to hear people's stories of where they were, what they were doing when Mt. St. Helens blew.
DFO: I was near Kalispell, Mont., at a potluck lunch with friends when the sky began to get hazy. By the time we got back into town, the sky was falling. I still remember driving my VW Rabbit to Whitefish to take a photo of the giant Kentucky Fried Chicken sign with a makeshift breathing mask over its face. I'm glad the car didn't stall on Highway 93. There was plenty of ash on the road and everywhere else. The Flathead Valley got hit pretty hard despite being so far away.
Question Where were you when the mountain blew?
