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

Two pieces of history etched in my mind as long as I live here are the shooting of President Reagan and Mt. St. Helens blowing back in high school days! I remember about a week after the eruption coming home from school in Knoxville, TN and being in the drive way throwing some hoops on the old basketball goal and it starting snowing ash! Cool knives and stories everyone and I really enjoy the mountain volcano pictures!
 
Great show everyone... Lots of cool pictures good history lesson and beautiful Buck knives...

Thanks for sharing everyone we all like pictures it's fun to see what's out there and it's fun to share our Buck knives with everyone... Lots of us can't just display are Buck knives so they just go in a box...

Thanks again...

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.

This is what Mt St Helens looks like from my back yard. Nice clear day this morning for a picture. The opposite side is what blew away in the eruption.
