Mount Saint Helen's

So, what is a girl to think when her husband says he is going to climb an active volcano?!



I am still not sure what I think of it, but on Friday JR did it. JR and his Young Men climbed
Mt St Helen's. He says that words fail to describe the experience, but all you can say about it is that it is awesome. He climbed for fours hours through forest, lava rocks, then ash. He said the view was amazing! He could see four other mountains. Here is a picture he took looking over the crater towards Spirit Lake with Mt Rainer in the background.
What could top that?

I heard that climb is amazing going through all the different environments. I'll ask J.R. more about it today.

Wow, impressive! Congrats to JR. I could never do that (wouldn't want to) but still...
