The Sunday Picture Show... (2-21-2016)

Wow, Ged, that's an impressing story. The eruption of St. Helens was the top theme for weeks in the German news. I remenber the impressing Film reports during these weeks. Isn't it more than exciting to live in the danger circle of the volcanos? Isn't it like living on a powder barrel? Like the Yellowstone Park that is a sleeping Bomb you can be sure: the next eruption comes. Nobody knows when, but it does. That is as sure as eggs is eggs.
Once before I die I'll travel to the big volcanos. I would climb one or two. Thank you for the report.

And thank you, Oregon for your description. I would not like to be in the situation to see the eyes of the jet pilot in the mountains. I know what it means if a supersonic fast jet fighter passes you in a low distance. When I was a kid we lived in a low flight area. An I could see the face of pilots of the F104 or the Phantom from my childs room. There were always broken windows and damaged roofs because of the jets. No wonder when you had problems in the mountains because of the noise.

Haebbie - We lived far outside the danger area. The mountain was rumbling for a few weeks and they were working on evacuating everyone in the danger area but not all would leave.
Everyone was captivated by the news footage of an older gentleman by the name of Harry Truman who lived in the danger area who would not leave only to end up buried under
30+ feet of ash when it erupted. The whole area where he lived which was on the north side of the mountain at Spirit lake was completely gone.

This is more what I remember it looking like from up in the hills above Scappoose.

Here is a picture showing what it looked like before and after.

Harry Truman made famous in the news for holding his ground although maybe a bit foolish.

Old man Truman liked his whiskey on the rocks. Nice hat too.

Where do these little anvils come from?
 
Here is a Buck 931 Clip Point Hunter with mesquite handles on a Buck Knives banner and a jar of ash from the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. The ash is grey and very fine.

Isn't Mt. St. Helens called Denali now?

Thank you again, ITE, for starting the Greatest Shoe. There are some great looking bucks on the show today. Gedlicks, I have a few Opinels that have Bubinga handles. It is a real nice looking wood.

For my small part of the show, I have an older picture of some of my big knives, top to bottom a Western Bowie, 120, 651, 120 and a Puma Bowie.

Great Show everyone... Lot's of time to share some more Bucks... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Haebbie - My St Helens is not called Denali as far as I am aware. Denali is in Alaska.

It is within the Cucamonga Wilderness of the San Bernardino National Forest.

The gate will be locked and the road closed to non-authorized vehicular access. The public is still welcome to use the road for hiking and biking, but no vehicle access. The road may also be closed due to high fire danger. Call the Lytle Creek Ranger Station (909-382-2851) for current road and trail conditions and wilderness permit availability. The portion of the trail from Joe Elliott to the peak is best for experienced hikers only as it is steep, rocky, exposed, and not maintained.
