Mount St. Helens
View Larger And On Black
I got up really early, or did I get up really late? Either way my alarm was set for 1am. I guess we can go with got up late because the clerk at Plaid Pantry did say have a nice night. I arrived at Johnston Ridge Observatory at 3:30am and it was spooky. Mostly because their was another car in the parking lot but it also had something to do with my ears were ringing because it was so quite. Zero sounds, just a river a few miles down the way, a water spout that was dripping and a loose sign up on the hill that reminded people to stay on the trail. It was a horrible drive up, a lot of fog and a giant mysterious elk that was or was not in the road hidden by fog. I had my fingers crossed that the fog would die off or something, never would of guessed that 4000 feet up you would end up above clouds and fog for a clear shot at the mountain. I will go back and do this again, maybe just staying up and getting there earlier or just camping and doing it Louis and Clark style.
