Spirit Lake. BEST fishing anywhere.
Parents loved going to Harry’s illegal speakeasy. Parties there were epic. -
I was fishing on Lake Limerick in Shelton. We heard the eruption at 8:30, but didn't know what it was.
When we hit the dock around 9, my buddy's mom came running down to the dock and said she had to take me home. We listened on the radio as reports came in - people were talking about a wall of mud heading toward I-5 and dozens of people killed etc. It was strange because I recall it just being a nice, sunny day and you couldn't see shit from where we were.
When we got to my house, my old man loaded everyone in the van and we drove up to Capitol Forest and found a big lookout where you could see the volcano. The ash cloud was pretty awesome. We hung out there for a while watching it and taking photos.

You know Harry was sitting on the porch that morning, or maybe out on the lake fishing. In either case, it was over quick. He was telling the governor to get fucked before it was cool to tell the governor to get fucked. The more things change, the more they stay the same I guess. -

Because I have very funny retardation, I just looked through those pictures and went straight to google because, "Holy fuck, how did I not know that a US President died in the St. Helens eruption!?"

Not enough Pat Hill imagery.

Sleeping off a hangover, home from “university” for the night...Pops came in and woke me up, said “You’d better see this”...(the scenario was eerily recreated 21 years later, while visiting my father, on 9/11)...
Drove back thru the mess (E WA), zero visibility, cuz mid-terms. Pulled into the porking lot of the dorm, and an RA came running out, jumped into my car, and we drove to the store and bought the last 20 cases of beer they had. Baseball practice in ankle deep ash was not enjoyable, and after the beer, booze and pot ran out (4-5 days IIRC), we vacated and went home, TSWO... -
I was only 8 so it's a little foggy. I know that my folks had stayed the weekend up North (Seattle area somewhere) and were coming home that day. We were worried as fuck as we heard about the rivers flooding. They made it home fine but for some reason it seems like they were delayed. I can't remember the details. Exciting day.
