Mount St. Helens is an active stratovolcano located in Skamania County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is 96 miles (154 km) south of Seattle, Washington and 50 miles (80 km) northeast of Portland, Oregon. Mount St. Helens takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, a friend of explorer George Vancouver who made a survey of the area in the late 18th century.[1] The volcano is located in the Cascade Range and is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, a segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire that includes over 160 active volcanoes. This volcano is well known for its ash explosions and pyroclastic flows. Mount St. Helens is most notorious for its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980, at 8:32 am PDT,[2] the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. Fifty-seven people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed. A massive debris avalanche triggered by an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale, caused an eruption, reducing the elevation of the mountain's summit from 9,677 ft (2,950 m) to 8,365 ft (2,550 m) and replacing it with a 1 mile (1.6 km) wide horseshoe-shaped crater.[3] The debris avalanche was up to 0.7 cubic miles (2.9 km3) in volume. The Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument was created to preserve the volcano and allow for its aftermath to be scientifically studied. As with most other volcanoes in the Cascade Range, Mount St. Helens is a large eruptive cone consisting of lava rock interlayered with ash, pumice, and other deposits. The mountain includes layers of basalt and andesite through which several domes of dacite lava have erupted. The largest of the dacite domes formed the previous summit, and off its northern flank sat the smaller Goat Rocks dome. Both were destroyed in the 1980 eruption.

Re: Vintage picture thread
Here's my Dad's old 64 Chevy 1/2 ton. These are the only two pictures he has of it. I remember flipping through the family photo album as a teenager just to gaze at these two pictures. I remember thinking I'd never seen such a mean looking truck before! It was these two pictures that influenced me to buy a 66 GMC 910 when I was 16, which ended up being my first registered, insured vehicle a few years later. My dad isn't into vehicles at all and didn't talk me into liking the truck other than to say, "I miss that old truck" and "It was that truck that made your mother want me.."

Re: Vintage picture thread
Is the photo from the aftermath of the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington?

Yes, it was taken after things "cooled down" . . . on the right, are the tracks left from the skids of the helicopter that landed to check things out. You can see the footprints where someone got out and walked over to the truck and back again. . . . . |

When I was in high school 30+ years ago, I had an ROP auto body class. There were a couple of cars there donated by GM for us to practice on, they had fallen off the car carrier. They were the Buick or Pontiac equivalent of a Chevy Nova, circa 1979. Rear ends crunched and folded under. We kids were all drooling at the power velour bucket seats, but the rules were strict. No parts could be sold, they were for instruction only. They also had carbs that looked like a Quadrajet, but were 2-barrels with the secondaries blanked off. I don't think I have seen any new vehicles traveling by carrier for 20+ years. Is it still done?

Re: Vintage picture thread
My maroon 69 GMC Sierra Grande from 1983, and my green 72 GMC Sierra Grande 4x4 from 1987 - I might have been "one" of the first to put the rally wheels on one of these trucks! - the SWB pic paint was far better than what is depicted - this was a black/white to color conversion.
