If we're talking about Oregon Officialdom I disliked finding so few visitor resources posted available for street-legal dual sport motorcycle owners. Thank goodness for access to any National Forest.
I was 688 miles away from Mt. St. Helens and ash still "snowed" down upon us in West Pittsburg,CA. As a 5-yr old at the time, I can still recall all of us neighborhood kids playing in the stuff. Very surreal. I'd witness it again years later during the Oakland Hills fire in '91, only this time the particles raining down were still ablaze. Fun times!
@@jcee2259 They changed it's name to Bay Point in the 90's. Lots of interesting history through there. Most of the area was damaged or obliterated during the explosion of Port Chicago.
In the summer of 1979, I was with church members on a hike and we hiked up to Mt. Margaret, St. Helens lake and Grizzly lake and we saw some Mountain goats and they were heading south. The mountain goats, deer, elk and other wild animals have returned to Mt. St. Helens area after the 1980 eruption.
Good story and video OPB. Let's hope the land and rocky cliffs can sustain many more mountain goats. Are there predators other than the rare bear encounter?
It's probably part of the natural cycle. The vegetation feeds the mtn goats who in turn poop and urinate all over the place and thereby fertilizing the ground with nutrients. I guess the saying should be updated "don't poop where you eat, except if you are a mountain goat" 😉
hi, 2021, the volcano at Canarias, Island of La Palma, is hitting at these moments, and I have a tought, these stuff is great, so much to learn, but, regarding all the effort for recovering the area, thinking of La Palma, is it not a bit naive the idea of restoring the flora and fauna, knowing that it all can blow up at any second?, how far is it anything that we can control in anyway?, as much as predict an eruption with accuracy, maybe one day great stuff here of course, keep it up
I was an avid fan of La Palma volcanic activity. Grateful afterward it ended without coastline damage elsewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. I'd enjoy visiting in 2031 to seek any unexplored lava tubes created a decade before.
Mountain goats are great. We have a lot of them in the mountains around Salt Lake City. Anytime you go hiking among the upper peaks, you will see them. I have taken some great pictures of them. Actually, they were "transplanted" from Washington sometime in the eighties.
They're assumed to have wandered over from Mount Adams & Goat Rocks Wilderness area. So basically a new population. More or less. I'd think with the other places fairly close by that there's been at least some wandering back & forth between them.
I feel safer inside a Mount St; Helens lava tube than outside with wildlife. It is for me a 6 hour ride to go there on my Suzuki DR-650. One 18 hour ride will get me off-road into the Modoc National Forest where more unexplored tubes await discovery.
I've heard from a friend the goats at least in the North Cascades will kind of stalk hikers and wait for them to urinate and lick it up due to the lack of sodium in their diet.
Sasquatch are real, but they inhabit the space between your ears. You can find them, if you try. They don't exist in the outer world, but you may look for them there, anyway.
I lead a sasquatch research group in the early 90's. We stayed up several days at a time searching for the elusive beast. I almost had him one night in an alley in Portland. As everyone knows sasquatch can only see our clothing I, like all good researchers had stripped down buck naked so bigfoot couldnt see me. I almost had him in that alley. He must have winded me because he tore out pushing a shopping cart screaming something that sounded like "help". Since I didnt have any permits or official authority to chase bigfoot I got into some trouble and have to report to a probation officer every month. I also have to pee in a cup. 30 more months and I can start my search again.
Nathan gathers mountain goat wool at Mount Saint Helens 4:47. Only members of the Cowlitz tribe are allowed to gather wool here 4:49. Logically it follows that Nathan is a member of the Cowlitz tribe. .
My Father was a forester for Weyerhauser in the 1960's and early 70's. When I was a kid during that time we hiked and camped all through the Cascades and Olympic Mountains in Washington. My Sister went to summer camp at Spirit Lake in 1970. We saw goats all the time. People are surprised to see them on St. Helens now? Really.
So why not wait for a clear day then fly the teams up and onto the mountain where they can then hike to the stations and get an accurate count. They take all of the years planning to do the count but not able to be on standby to do the count on a clear day. Before you say it’s “unpredictable or it’s never clear”, that’s not true. There are plenty of days that are clear and actually many clear days in a row all the time. Instead they pick some random day that ends up being cloudy/fogged in to look for white sheep. Seems like typical government waste to end up with an pretty inaccurate count.
Weather in the region is unpredictable. The forecast may have called for partly sunny to sunny weather and then a front quickly rolls in and they can't just scrub their schedule to wait possibly weeks for clear weather.
Mountain lions will not be happy when lunch runs out onto a craggy ridge with only six inches of rock to walk on. Craggy ridges are NOT mountain lion country.
Uh, no. Why do you think mountain goats choose to live in these precarious, rocky ridge areas? Because their natural predators don't like living in these areas because they're difficult to traverse. Mountain lions do not live in rocky terrain with steep ridges and cliffs and no trees.
If only cowlitz ppl can gather wool on MSH because of “cultural property” then by that same line of thinking only Europeans should using electricity or only Americans should be able to do such things as drive cars or fly plans because by OPB’s definition it’s our cultural property, which limits only the “originals” to doing such activities. Talk about double standards: everyone is equal in tell it comes to gathering goat wool. 🤮
First, goats return to Mount Saint Helens. Then Deer's, then gazelles, then Rams, then elk, and then of course dreadfully bears. When bears get into that area they're going to destroy every living thing they possibly can. Because it's what they do, they are predators. When that happens Hunters got to go in there and just start blasting away! 💣🔫💣🔫💣🔫💣🔫💣🔫💣🔫 I don't want anybody ending up like Timothy Treadwell. With all due respect to his abilities, he was a friendly, good-natured, nutcase with half a brain. His stupid too full of himself dumbass should be a lesson for all of us.
@@tomaustin9017 Why would you take it upon yourself to say that? I'm just trying to help. Just what so-called good advice have you ever had to help anybody?
@@joenavanodo3780 Why in the world do you want to see some poor innocent deer get killed? Must be tough to be a deer, escape and evasion are its only defenses! Something else too, had you ever heard of a bear activist named Timothy Treadwell? See the film Grizzly Man and you find out real fast what happened to that poor fool. All because, just like you, he loved bears and got a real kick out of them. This was before he was attacked and murdered by these 600 pound predators! Got his own girlfriend attacked and killed too. Amy Huegenard, real shame nobody thinks about her. Oh yes, Tim Treadwell and his sick version of reality. Now, what do you got to say? Go ahead, don't be shy. Let you tell it about how gentle, kind, considerate, and filled with compassion bears are. Go ahead, tell me a story.
I recall 'experts' at the time saying how this eruption was so catastrophic, that it'd be a dead zone essentially forever. Fear porn and spectacle sells stories.
Definitely flies in the face of what every public school teaches in science. They will not entertain the hypothesis of a young earth, even though there is equal and ample evidence.
They said the same about Prince William Sound after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. "Never support life again" we were told by the experts. Life returned the following year. Some experts.
@@nmarbletoe8210 Yeah. People regurgitating what reporters told them, not experts. No scientists said life will never return. They said it may take decades, which it has, but no one said it'd be a dead zone for eternity.
I recently discovered this channel was a thing, and I absolutely love it.

I watched the mountain erupt in 1980. It always amazes me how quickly the flora and fauna have come back to the area....
they didn`t, these are different ones.
I agree. It flies in the face of what traditional science teaches everyone. Gives yet another valid argument for a young earth hypothesis.
@@blessedwithchallenges9917 No, it doesn't fly in the face.
@@blessedwithchallenges9917 wtf, coz goats can walk?
how does that support the dumb earth theory?
I imagine it is similar to watching the Aussie bush come back after the fires.
It's probably part of the natural cycle. The vegetation feeds the mtn goats who in turn poop and urinate all over the place and thereby fertilizing the ground with nutrients. I guess the saying should be updated "don't poop where you eat, except if you are a mountain goat" 😉

Serious question. Why would the population decrease as the forest returns.
Please watch again - higher numbers means increase

How about a survey for Sasquatches?

They were wiped out from the eruption on and around Mt St Helens ... that's why people are surprised...
Who was surprised? They said they were surprised that there were 152,382,215,393.3 of them.
don't get off the trail no humans allowed you might damage the plants or grass. Mountain goats hold my beer!
these are different goats!
Not easier to do a plane or helicopter fly over and count the goats?
So you think that would not startle the goats, just maybe?
Dann Marceau not if done at a reasonable distance. Animal counts are done by aircraft all of the time.
jklfds85 : Or drones.
I think there's too much fog & possibly too much brush for them to hide amongst.
Why in the heck has it taken 4 yrs for this to be uploaded ???????????????????????
Family emergency.
If nothing else happens then 40 years is as good as it gets for News....
I have photos taken on 6.27.2018 of mountain goats on Helens on the west side you you are interested in seeing the location send me a DM @OPB

You can't give government employees the choice of when to do something unless retirement is the final day.
So you'd reserve helicopters, to be on standby every day until the weather is right. NOW who is wasting resources? You realize how much those cost??
