Seaview, Washington

Guess, I am a few days behind, so let's catch up as to where we have been.

At last report, we took a hike up in the area of Mount Hood and walked round Vancouver, Wa.

Since then, we stayed at the Elks in Kelso / Longview Cities. Hookups are with water and 30 amps. Oy main reason - Mount St Helens. It has been over 28 years, since the eruption.

Our plan, head up, 56 mile journey from the lodge, stop in at the New Visitors Center (Washington State Park), get information and head up.

Our first hick-up ?

Flat Tire - 

We managed to get it change even with missing a park of the jack and the Aluminum Rim, being stuck to the drum. After an hour and a half, we were back on the road and heading up the mountain.

First Stop - Mt St Helens Forest Learning Center

After a short visit and photos it was time to head back up.

Our final stop, Johnston Ridge Observatory.  Where we learn the Visitors center was closed due to power outage. However, everything else was still open including the hiking area.

No animals are allowed up at the top, but can be walked in the lower portion.

We only stayed 1 night in Kelso, awoke early the next day and headed out to Seaview, Wa., across the Columbia River from Astoria, Or.

We met up with Kathy and Wayne over Lunch at the Buoy Beer Restaurant in Astoria, Or.

Since then Susan and I have beer traveling around, stopping in, and visiting unique places such as a the Columbia River Quarantine Station at Knappton Heritage area.
