Ape Cave at Mount St Helen's near Cougar, Washington =]
This excursion was super freaky as the tours and everything were closed for the year & there was absolutely no one else up there. Entering a cave mid-summer with a bunch of people around is not so bad, but venturing into a big black hole completely alone in the forest is a bit more chilling.
Facing the mouth of the beast.
Deep inside the lava tube cave.
It was pitch, pitch black except for our dinky flashlights (& my camera flash). We were completely alone in the dark cave...dun dun dun...
Notice the drips of the lava as it dried. Cool cool.
Looking up in the cave.
Returning to daylight & the surface of the earth once again.
Ascending from the depths of the cave.
Ah ha, I am a true spelunker.
Aw, I love this one. Robert, the explorer. =]
Helene on an old abandoned bridge somewhere in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Mount St Helens, currently erupting volcano, covered in clouds.
Yale Resevoir
Robert, a man on a resevoir... "Aha...I found a lake."
Helene, a woman on resevoir.... "Actually it is a resevoir, my dear."
Aw, we're so cute. =]
Hmm, might be good to listen to the sign as there are rocks directly beneath it. I'll take the warning into consideration.

My Mom Visits Portland
Yay!! My mom visited me in Portland! This was her second trip up here, since she came last year this time as well. Her work sent her again this year on another fancy conference trip up here & then she stayed an extra day with Robert & I. We prowled around downtown Portland & showed her my school, Portland State University, went to the Audubon Society & said hi to some pretty birds of prey, & then went on a gorgeous little hike in Portland's beautiful green forests. Robert made her a delicious spicy homemade curry dinner with chicken & frech mushrooms & peppers!! Mmm... She was very impressed. The next morning my mom took us out for a charming breakfast at a little place in SE Portland & then we went on a drive long the Columbia River on the way to the airport. It was so great to see my mumsie in my Portland town! =]
