"There and Back Again"

For our Fall geology trip we went on an 8 day trip to Mt. St. Helens and back.  It was quite fun and educational.  There is so much to tell, but I will just give pictures for now, a somewhat condensed look at our fantastic trip.

This is basically how we got to the large rock in the middle of the prairie

Some beautiful girl we found along the way. ;)
