A dead tree lies still buried by the debris from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The Hummocks Trail at Mount St. Helens winds through the debris field that used to be the mountain's north face. Rising to 8,363 feet, Mount St. Helens lost about 1,300 feet from its height during the eruption of May, 1980. The entire north face of the mountain broke away in the largest landslide in recorded history, resulting in a lateral eruption that killed 57 people and temporarily blasted nearby Spirit Lake clear out of its bed. Today a massive lava dome occupies the center of the crater. Mount St. Helens remains the currently most active of the Cascade volcanoes.

I lived in Tallahassee from 1992 - 1997. I interned at the Museum of Florida History in 1994, and then got my first post-FSU job there from 1994 - 1995 when budget cuts slashed a number of state jobs. The museum was opened in 1977 and is housed in the R. A. Gray Building behind the state capitol. One of my early jobs was cataloguing and recording the condition of several Civil War flags before sending them for conservation, the most rare being the 5th Florida regimental flag. Other exhibits I regularly cleaned, such as the case for the builder's model of the battleship USS Florida and citrus packing house. I had a minor part assisting in the construction of the diorama of Florida's first people. Tallahassee, Florida. (Nathanael Miller, 05 Nov. 2018)
