Mt. St. Helens

I had a couple days off in the middle of the week last week so we took the opportunity to go camping up at Mt. St. Helens

You can kinda make out the volcano in the distance

Another shot.

We didn't have campground picked out so here we are trying to decide where to camp. We ended up going to like 5 or 6 campsites but they were either full or the only empty spots were right next other people. Eventually one of the camp hosts said we should go further up Mt. St. Helens to the Horse camping campground. So we went up and ended up finding some really primitive sites up a forest service road where all you had to do was pull off the road and drive back in the woods some and just set up camp.

Here is the area we camped at.

Whoever camped here before us put down a bunch of hay which came in handy for us. We slept so well!

Kayla slept in while I piddled around the camp messing with the fire and getting breakfast together. It was really chilly in the Mountains hence Kayla all bundled up, it was easily in the 50's.

The Jeep with our handy excess cargo hauler which also doubled as a table for us.

The camp area.

It was overcast and misty in the morning which was really soothing.

Driving out of the campsite.

Leaving...

Here's the horse camp we camped by.

Drivin'.

Not sure what they are called but these wild flowers were everywhere.

Clouds.

A valley.

That is Yale Lake in that valley.
