June 27, 2015. Day trip to Mt. Saint Helens

CAMPGROUND:  2nd night at Columbia Riverfront
LOCATION:  Woodland, Washington, 35 miles north of Portland
WEATHER:  Still hot. Highs in 90s

We drove about 60 miles to the observation area near Mt. Saint Helens.  The visitors' center was very well-done.  After the movie with amazing footage of the eruption, the curtain opened to a window with the view of the volcano.

A tourist was setting up his drone to hover over the volcano to take pictures..

And it's off....

After our visit, we stopped at the appropriately named Ashtown Brewery in a nearby town for lunch.

Back at the RV park, we took a swim in the pool to cool off.  We watched the sunset from our campsite.

DINNER:  Japanese zaru-soba, a cold buckwheat noodle dish.  Side salad.  Too hot to eat hot food tonight.
