(Slide scan) Back in ’89, before access restrictions kicked in, two buddies and I skied several miles into the crater of Mt. St. Helens and climbed the new lava dome building there and descended to the devastated Spirit Lake (eruption was in ’80). The dome – several hundred feet high and with venting steam - is the left foreground, southern crater walls behind. Quite an adventure! Sadly, both of my buddies – my regular climbing & adventure partners – have both since passed on (one just recently, why I revisited old photos).
The PNC building in downtown Raleigh, NC contrasted against some older buildings a few blocks over. Sure would like to snatch a condo up on one of those upper floors. Had a really nice meal and walk around Raleigh with my son yesterday.

Another friend. Now id the Magic Dragon at a landscaping nursery will only rub off on my not so green thumb.
That was a fun outing. Next month a local historical home/gardens will have a dinosaur display set up throughout the grounds. Will have to do the same...with a T-Rex over my shoulder!
