The Grateful Dead play Portland.
Mount St. Helens erupts as “Fire on the Mountain” gets underway.
In the crowd: legendary Deadhead Bill Walton.
By morning, he’s got a plan—and a fake credential.
What follows?
Peak Walton, in his own words.

USGS's Don Swanson and German grad student Thomas Wörner fly around Mount St. Helens. Routine.
On the summit to place a new reflector, Swanson walks to the crater's edge through slushy snow. The crater yawns—1,550 yards long, 660 wide, 220 deep. Steam rises.
Yet, still.

Every time I've done this '80 eruption recap, I always find photos or articles I forgot to post. So, two weeks in, here’s some of what I've missed.
First: a farewell to the brief two-crater era with a great Don Swanson photo taken on March 30. 🫡
