Overlooking "Spirit Lake"

At the base of Mt. Saint Helens, looking over Spirit Lake (or what's left of it!)

How many layers can you see?

From near St. Helens, looking toward the coast of Washington. I see at least 8 layers of mountains.

Spirit Lake - WOW!!!!

See the bare mountains in the back and the ruined trees still floating in the lake?

Yummy! Cherries!

Kids stuffing their faces with cherries right from the tree. See next picture...

Cherries have WHAT in them?

Kids at Grant and Sandy's, just before Dad tells them the cherries all have little white grubs in them! See the evil look in my eye? Thanks Dad!
