You all probably don't care, but they just re-opened Mt. St. Helens for climbing. It is the only active volcano in the lower 48. Climbing is by permit only, and the mountain has been closed to any activity for 1-1/2 years.
Next Friday, the 1st 100 permits to climb an ACTIVE VOLCANO are released. Guess who now has a permit? ME....ME! ME! ME!
So in about a week or so, I'll have pictures of inside the crater of an active volcano. I haven't been this excited since I was part of a geology group that camped in the crater about 10 years ago (I was a geologist back then). WOOHOO!
It would be totally cool if it actually erupted while I was at the edge of the crater! Those would be some great photos!
That is all...
