I live a few miles east of Portland. I can see Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams from the front of my house and Mt. Hood to the east. We actually live on an extinct cinder cone, which they call a butte here. I lived in Eastern Washington (Pullman) when Mt. St. Helens erupted. That was certainly something to experience as it rained ash and turned to night at 3 in the afternoon.
