The road to Mount St. Helens By John Foyston, OregonLive
But Clark isn't going to worry until the U.S. Forest Service closes down the visitor facilities nearest the mountain.
If they do, here's a disclaimer on the order of an OSHA-mandated sticker I once saw on the side of a huge machine that resurfaced streets. It showed a hapless stick figure, arms a-waving, mouth agape, with its legs caught under implacable crawler treads.
Had there been a caption, it might've read, 'Warning! Do not hurl yourself under the treads of this clanking, 20-ton mechanical stegosaur, or allow others to hurl you!' So, too, with this desultory travelogue of the Spirit Lake Highway. If the mountain's going to blow, please don't go. Just say no.
