Tillamook Cheese Factory
|
On the way back from the coast, we drove down to the Tillamook Cheese Factory for a
tour and some cheese! |
|
Cheese Assembly Line
|
A couple of women who must eat a fair amount of the product cut the big
pieces of cheese into smaller pieces of cheese. |
|
Mt. St. Helens
|
Friday we drove up to Mt.
St. Helens. We went to the west side first. This is the view from the
Visitor Center. |
|
Crater/Spirit Lake
|
After the visitor center we drove back south and around to the east into
the blast zone. The ground there is all small rocks and ash. See a
panorama from here! |
|
Spirit Lake
|
From the same vantage point, but looking to the right, facing away from
the crater. Spirit Lake is partially covered with tree trunks. |
|
Viewpoint
|
A nice viewpoint along the road. To see what is going on now, check
out the Volcanocam!

Bean Pose
|
Debbie in a Bean Pose on our hiking trail. Also a good picture of all
the dead and knocked-down trees. |
|
Lake & Volcano
|
Here's what Debbie was pointing at. The sun was starting to go down,
but we still got some great views of the volcano. |
|
Blast Zone
|
A wide angle to the east of the volcano was levelled by the blast when
Mt. St. Helens blew its top off on May 18, 1980. |
|
Vineyard
|
Saturday we went into the Willamette Valley to go wine tasting. This
is from the Shafer Vineyard.
