| Seattle to San Francisco Day 1: Seattle to Longview |
On the road. Had lunch at Applebee (a bit like Lone Star). We both had shrimp and spinach salad - delicious. Then on to Mt St Helens, the volcano which erupted in 1980. What an amazing area. The eruption commenced with a massive landslide that buried 14 miles of river valley to an average depth of 150 ft. 230 square miles of forest around the volcano was levelled in the first 10 minutes. Much of the area is still bare 29 years later. They have built a centre looking across to the volcano - very interesting.
