The remains of Mt. Saint Helen after she "blew her top", 8:52 AM, May 18, 1980. Two decades later, the land is again beginning to bloom, fish swim the rivers and lakes, elk and deer are returning to the surrounding hills. |
The Columbia River gorge, the boundary between Washington and Oregon, brings life and wealth to both states |

| The rugged and beautiful coastline and hilly and moving
sand dunes |
|
|
|
We'll never forget the jet boat ride on the Rogue River. We enjoyed hail, rain, some sunshine and lots of wind at 50 mph. Hold on to your hats! |
|
|
| The day at Crater Lake was wonderful, above 5,000 feet
elevation we encountered a snow blizzard. What contrasts, what
variety. |
The northern California was so beautiful, well worth a picture stop. And the "tall trees", the Coastal Redwood, so big, so inspiring, so graceful. We praised our Creator. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Finally San Francisco, the city built on hills, and it's distinctive Golden Gate Bridge. Time to say "Good Bye" to our tour family, a final meal together along the waterfront at Pier 39. |
