The only time I've ever been to Mt. St. Helens was when I was a kid and the entire area was consumed by fog. I never was able to see the peak. I knew I was missing something, I just didn't know exactly what. Fast forward 15 years later, my friend and I find ourselves arriving at the same exact conditions I was plagued with years back. I was sure that we weren't going to see the mountain that morning, but when it finally revealed itself, I felt like a kid in a candy store. Everything around us was breathtaking. There is something about Mt. St. Helens that can't be explained. Ok, so the missing chunk can be scientifically explained, but there is an intangible feeling that sets this mountain apart for me and I can finally fully appreciate it.
