   We have a vial of Mt. St. Helen’s ash; our son who is now a PhD sedimentologist at the time wanted to visit the site, so we “dropped by” two years later from our coast-to-coast trip in the VW camper van. He treasured that bottle of ash. Did you know that the ash made it to the east coast? About two-three days after the eruption, we woke up to find everything in our area under a light coating of very obvious volcanic ash – and we live 1 hr 45 mins northwest of Calais, ME. Just thought I’d share that little nugget of info with you! Oh, the power of the wind….

     Great story, thanks, and no, I didn’t know the ash traveled that far.
