Mt St Helens Adventure
A new annual tradition has begun with some of my college girlfriends. We kicked off the first year in the Mt. St. Helens Wildreness area. June Lake was a great place to backpack and camp. From there the hiking is incredible and fairly easy. Although, I would recommend good shoes as there are big rocks and bolders to scramble over as part of the hiking trails. My time around Mt. Helens was reflective of the cycle of death and life...as this volcanoe destroyed everything around it over 27 years ago and yet finds a way for new growth and beauty. Beauty for ashes may be another way of putting it (Isaiah 61:3)!! We had a great time and I believe the pictures may let you a little in on our experience :) Oh yea, watch out for sasquatch in these woods!! You may never know...

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
~Henri Nouwen
