St Helens lost the top 2000 feet of the mountain back then. It is considerably shorter.
I came back from school on Monday over the Marquem bridge when it was clear. Right now Mt Hood has an impressive load of snow up there. back in September it was mostly bare rock.
When I was a young un, back in the days when at least some folks was decent, Mt Hood had a large load of ice year round, even in the drought year of 1975.
But it wasn't that long ago that glaciers were all the way down to the valley floor as far south as Roseburg. There are moraines from back then with all kinds of interesting rocks that came from far away.
A post like this is invaluable compared to a link. In all seriousness, relating ones life and what they see, is great stuff. Youtube videos, articles in the mainstream media are vapid, useless sources compared to this post. Not that this post has the mystery of the world revealed, but its honest information.
Links have a purpose but unless you can relate a bit of your life, a link means nothing.
