The devastating eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 was the worst and deadliest volcanic eruption the United States has ever experienced. This catastrophic volcanic eruption lasted a mere 9 hours. However, in that short time it destroyed hundreds of square miles of forest, spewed 540 million tons of volcanic ash covering an area of 22,000 square miles, and killed 57 people. Mount St. Helens was reduced by a full 1,300 feet. The once symmetric cone mountain now had a massive gaping horseshoe caldera at it's center, and the surrounding area had become a barren wasteland.

I first realized that you two weren't born yet when St Helens blew in 1980. I was in Sequim Wa 200 miles NW and the noise form the explosion woke me up to run out side to see what was going on. It sounded like sonic aircraft booms form breaking the sound barrier, that went on for seemed a long time. The reason the visitor center was so far away was first there were no roads left mainly bridges gone past that point. And most of the area around the mountain was in a Red Zone so only loggers working to remove the wood and workers like my self working to rebuild the roads to get up there were allowed. My wife now, was living in Cougar 8 miles SW of the mountain never heard a thing. Though at first working up around the mountain was very unnerving due to the unpredictability of the eruptions. The mountain would blow off steam and ash several times a day for years, sometimes small puff and once in a while 10k feet above the crater. We all had radios to listen for evacuation warnings form the Forest Service. Dealing with the ash fall out was the worst part sometimes we would get a dusting sometimes a half an inch. Luckily the rain would come and settle the dust (ash). Went through a lot of dust masks and air filters for the cars, always bought 2 at a time. Change one and have another if it got plugged. The ash was very acidic and where it got in to the seams of the cars and trucks would rot the steel away. We owned a building that had a flat roof and would have shovel the ash off as if it got wet it got heavy enough to damage it. Fun times don't miss them.
Wow! That is CRAZY!!! We wish we were alive when it had blown and could recall the events surrounding the eruption but alas we weren't :(
Great story! Happy to read it not live it as we are in Chicagoland! But my relatives are in Montana and had ash in there town as well!
Alan Hester I was 5 or 6 and living with my parents in BC, Canada 🇨🇦 when it exploded. I was having breakfast as we were going up Whistler that morning. The entire house shook. Plate and pictures fell from the walls. We thought it was an earthquake.... close, but no. It was the eruption 🌋. Our home looked onto Mt Baker in Washington as we lived in Coquitlam back then. It was pretty scary.
As a Boy Scout backpacked that area from 1966 - 1979. Have numerous slides of the “before’. It was a magnificent Wilderness area. Still is, but millions of old growth Fir trees are gone. Took me a few years to get over the shock of it gone; but the last ten+ years have gone back and seen the new landscape. If you’re still up there continue (drive) on around to Windy Ridge and hike up to the top of the trail at sunset. Photo op you’ll never forget. If you get there early enough just East is another trail down to the lake. Worth the couple miles to see. Look for the small falls almost at the bottom. Harmony Falls use to be a couple hundred feet higher. When your at the lake level look up and around and see where the lake level use to be. The eruption changed a lot of the landscape.
I was on my way to Washington to visit my brother when Mount St. Helens blew. I remember the ash all over the roads from Mount St. Helens. He lived about hundred miles as the crow flies away from Mount St. Helens.
Johnston Ridge is named after David Johnston, only 32 years old, who died at the beginning of the eruption. He was was a dedicated geologist, excited to be part of the experience of tracking Mt Saint Helen's.
I was Portland watching the eruption from the top of the street.
The ending of the video is just awe inspiring, especially on a good day. Glad you had a great time.
Hi, enjoyed the video. We took a trip to St Helens back in 1983. It of course didn’t have the visitor centers etc, back then, but the scene of devastation was terrible. When we were driving through the forest it was lush and green until you came to one bend, where after rounding the corner, BAM, the stark barren landscape brought chills down our spine. I’m happy to,see new growth coming along. Enjoy your month!-Maureen
Have I told you how much I love our opening sequences with the music. Oh wait, I have and once again I go back two or three times just to watch the opening again. It just affects me that much. You are both naturals to this whole sharing and presentation. My two faves.
Haha thank you Andy!
this is why I love the internet.... while I was toiling away at school all day moving classrooms (at the last minute btw), you guys were doing this.... somehow it makes it all better.
I have just come across your channel and it is my dream to do what you do, i live in the uk and since i was 16/17 have wanted to live in america Oklahoma to be exact, i have never been abroad, my dream was cut short i now have spinal issues and damage in my lumbar spine after many operations im 30 now and had my spinal issues sine i was 24, i still hope to visit america at least, but would still love to live in america, seeing you guys living the dream is uplifting and in the future hope i can afford to visit the USA maybe one day hope to move there. For now i get to see the beautiful landscape from the screen of my laptop thanks to guys like you. Happy RVing :-)
I watched the eruption on May 18, 1980 and both the smaller eruptions. The devastation was enormous but the new growth of vegetation just shows how it's a cycle just like life. I have also had the privilege of flying over the crater and that was amazing. The crazy thing is after living in the area for 40 years I have not made it to the observatory. Now that I know what I was missing I really need to go. Thanks for the video.
#114 Thanks for the wonderful video of Mt. St. Helens. I was there two years ago! And drove to Windy Ridge and Spirit Lake area, very impressive. The forest roads are kind of dangerous! But there are vehicles that are crushed and families gone missing. You have to be there to experience the feeling and somberness.
It was Sunday morning and we were at church. It was like a huge thunder storm. It went from 😎 to total darkness in a matter of minutes. It rained sand for hours and then turned to a lighter dust. Lots of lightning with sulfur smelling air. We ended up with 4-6 inches of sand/ash which had to be shoveled off the roofs because of the weight. Of course we lost power for about 3-7 days depending on where you lived. Many cars were destroyed because they drove in the ash. The city had to use snow plows to remove the ash from the streets which took weeks. The city was closed for a week because no one dared to drive and ruin their cars. It was a very interesting time in Yakima, Washington.
Wow! That's crazy!
I remember the day well. Was camping near Liberty, WA, about 65 miles north of Yakima in the eastern Cascades, and the eruption rumbled through the ground like a minor earthquake. Dishes in the trailer rattled. Didn't know what was happening at the time, but about an hour later the sky turned dark and very light ash started falling. Then we knew what had happened. Had to wait several days to head back home to Yakima because all of the highways were closed. When our food ran out, we drove past the highway barricades and made it as far as Ellensburg. Interesting how different the ash was in each area. In Ellensburg, it was like grey flower, while in Yakima, it was coarser, like sand. Sure did mess up autos and other mechanical equipment. Never want to experience that again!
Love you guys! Your videos and photography are gorgeous! And... your intelligent and articulate narration is so refreshing! Happy and safe travels!
Yes, yes, yes, I couldn't have said it better. No other FTRV bloggers have as good an eye for the beautiful scenery and informative narrative. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi, David and Jenni. On May 18, 1980, I was at work near (then) Ft. Lewis, WA on I-5. That first explosion sounded as if a bomb had been dropped. Being surrounded by hundreds of tall pine and cedar, we rushed out of the office and drove down the street to stop near the gates of Camp Murray. Due south, we could see a massive plume of smoke rapidly rising into the sky were it ultimately got as high as 22 to 23 kilometers. It was like the reverse of watching a Titan rocket, but I can never forget the fierceness of the power released with the Tootle River removing trees, homes, vehicles, bridges, I-5, and the desolation that follows.
I understand your enthusiasm for seeing it from a distance of 38 years, two months, and 20+ hours. I admire your personal and professional journey and love to watch your videos. However, for our region it was a devastating nightmare and where I live in Tacoma, we have Rainier on some future docket for a countdown and explosion. Consider the people in Hawaii who have recently been contending with the tragedy there or those in Japan.
Not to be ironic, while learning about this formerly pristine and gorgeous mountain, I speak very sincerely that volcanoes are never cool: live ones are lethal destroyers and ultimately scorching hot. That power can never be harnessed and in action, it is terrifying.
Hey guys just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much my wife and I admire you guys. Doing what you're doing at such a young age is absolutely brilliant. Most people like myself wait until we're old and retired before ever considering a magnificent Journey. Don't even get me started on the ridiculous philosophy surrounding such a decision.
I just turned 62 and low and behold the effects of age have started to rear its ugly head.
If I had one wish for my life, it would be to make the decision that you guys have made.
Keep up the good work and remember don't let anyone tell you what to do.
When societal pressures dictate that you go left, take a right and enjoy the adventure.
Remember to "kiss every step!"
Yours is one of 5 RV channels we follow and we're still kind of new to yours. Wow! It finally rose above the radar how spectacular your videos and stills are! I used to be really into photography and I can still recognize videos and stills that are top quality and were done by someone that knows what they're doing. So it's not just the quality of the equipment but the skill of the photographer (David?) that makes the difference. Great job and thanks for the effort! Very appreciated.
I'm sure the equipment you're using is a trade secret but I'm not sure I can mortgage my house to buy it anyway.
Wow thank you for the awesome compliment! As to the quality of our equipment....our main camera that takes 95% of the video and all the stills is actually a lowly Sony a6000 that can be had for about $500. We are on a pretty tight budget so our camera gear is pretty lacking hahaha. But it has served is very well despite the fact that we're pushing it to its limits. You can see the list of camera gear we use for each video/post at the bottom of the video description on UA-cam and also at the bottom of each post on our website. Thanks again for the great compliment :D
I was there in 1980 when she blew. I was on Whidbey Island north of Seattle. I traveled up there shortly after it reopened. The devastation was unimaginable! Just the size of the area affected was hard to comprehend. To see how Spirit Lake was pushed up the mountain side, washing all the dirt off to the bedrock. Amazing area.
excellent video and description. i remember looking up in the sky and seeing the huge cloud when i was a teenager. poor harry truman and his cat! he just would not leave. the log jam and mud flow coming down the river was quite the show. thx for the videos. brian & patty from oregon
I like that you share facts about the area you are in. I always learn something new.
Wow! Beautiful video....again! Thank you for sharing!
That is a great video. Thanks for the education. Nikki & I were lucky enough to have transferred from Clark AB in the Philippines to the Anderson AFB on the island of Guam six months before Mt. Pinatubo exploded in 1991. We were so lucky. Evacuees ended up on Guam where my wife and kids helped to get them cleaned up and moved to the states. I missed it all because I was deployed to Korea. It is amazing what stories will trigger your memory. Thank you!
Thanks for all the info and amazing views!
Cool! When my son was little (he'll be 47 this year) my father lived out in California. He sent some of the ash to my son. He kept that for quite some time. He thought that the ash was the coolest thing. Anyway, loved all the wild flowers behind you earlier on in the video. Just absolutely beautiful scenery. Hope you are enjoying Seattle.
Great work and information you guys! Heard you on The RV Show USA. Nicely done!
This was awesome! Loved gaining the I formation about Mt Saint Helen. You guys are giving me loads of ideas for adding more road trips under my belt. 😊💖👍🏽 New follower and I’m enjoying your channel. Have spent all night binge watching your content as I’ve edited mine. Keep up the great work!!!!
We lived in Washington State when Mt. St. Helens erupted. We were about an hour northwest of the mountain and had ash rain in our backyard. I was 10 at the time so it was a pretty amazing thing to experience as a kid. We had a dusting of ash everywhere in our town. When my dad mowed the lawn, he had to water it first to weigh down the ash so it wouldn’t churn up into the air.
The things you can see now on Mt St. Helens are completely different than what it was before. Now you can see lava tubes that were created by burned out logs inside the lava. There is a whole canyon that was scoured out by the mudflow that exposed hardened lava from previous eruptions. And there are the really cool caves. Really a lot of amazing things there! That’s so cool you got to visit. I would love to go back!
Great to return to your videos. Didn’t quit just have been busy and haven’t watched you or any body. This is your usual great piece of information and beautiful scenery. Was in VT the month of June and also spent 9 days hiking g in the Adirondacks 45 miles on the Northville-Placid Trail. Back in WV in July and have been busy preparing my home here for sale. Will do my best to catch up on all your videos. So glad you both are still having fun chasing your dream.
I assume you two were not born when the 1980 episode happened? I was 20 years old. I recall some lost their lives because they did not observe the warnings and some got too close hoping to get that perfect picture. Thanks again for another great video!
Went to a conference in Portland a couple of weeks after the eruption and of course curiosity got us to take a tour up towards the area at that time the trees were still down all over it was very eerie and there was a river that had turned a gray color we went over this bridge and there was this River it was definitely like you were on a different planet very eerie very sad
One of your best vlogs! Loved it! Great job ..... enjoying your vlogs
thank you so interresting ..I remember that day so much ..even here in Canada
Wow it has changed a lot in 20 years. Hard to believe it has been so long since I have been there.
You guys really seem to do everything right ... you go to cool places and get to know them. You visit the various learning centers to get an understanding of the environment you're in and you engage nicely. As you were describing the eruption event it made me picture Mother Earth popping a pimple :-)
Awesome perspective. Very cool and interesting view.
I was living on Ft. Lewis (Army base) Washington when Mount St. Helen's erupted. I slept right through it. There was so much Ash it looked like night when it was day. The ash went around the world.
I stumbled upon your channel and what a delight! My husband and I love camping our way across the west and absolutely love Mt. St. Helen's and the PNW. We have spent a lot of time at MSH and have hiked along the dome to Loowit Falls. It was grueling, but the has the some of the best moments of our lives. If you return, travel to the other side to Hurricane Ridge. It is wilder and there are hikes to Spirit Lake and the dome.
I lived in Spokane, washington when it went off. I looked off in its direction and the sky looked like a bad storm was coming. The dust was horiffic afterwards for years along the roads and cars.
I remember it well. Used to have some ash from the eruption. Amazing power of nature!
Mount St Helen's is one of our absolute favorite place EVER! We have climbed to the top and hiked a lot of the trails. There is a lava cave called Ape Cave that is a lot of fun to go through if you are ever back in the area. And as always, one of the things I love most in your vlogs is the history lesson! Thanks guys! Another great video.
Great video guys thanks for all the great information.
Very informative video! Thanks so very much. I would love to visit! Maybe one day my husband and I will go
Oh Jenny, I get it! In Denali they have seismographs, and my park ranger step mom took me up to the mountain where the equipment was and we stomped around... I don't know if they still have the up-to-the-minute readings, but it was super cool to come back to the Eilson Visitor Center and see the change on the paper seismograph printout.
They do have one of those at Mt St Helen's but it's in the visitor center just for fun haha
I have climbed Mt St Helens twice, once in 1988 and once in 2012, it's pretty surreal to stand on the edge of the crater.
I live in Missoula Montana and we got ash from the eruption. I was 8 yo n we couldn't go to school for a few days and couldn't play outside. The ash spread for miles
Hey you guys made it to Washington! You guys are going to love it. The Cascades are incredible this time of year. My wife and I have really loved exploring the Evergreen State this past year. I hope you enjoy it as well!
Love that scenery...my mom flew over Mt St Helen in 1980 just after the eruption...she took 35mm pics from the plane...I still have them in an album ...great video, guys!
The lava domes have really grown since...2010 when I was last there.(north side)
You tube has videos of the trails up the back side, and to the edge , looking down into it.
Love the south side, but you guys know that.
You were showing how the trees were missing on the side facing the mountain, and then wasnt as bad on the other slope. If you looked all the way past all that, to the next slope facing the mountain, and its stripped too.
I was in Port Orchard wa. On that morning and it was loud. Very obvious to everyone that it was Mt St Helens.
Thank you for another great video!
Great stuff...very informative...as usual ;-)
I remember when that happen now I’m excited to go and visit it
Good info on the resources surrounding the eruption of Mt Saint Helen; remember when it blew (some friends had been there for their honeymoon). Enjoy your trip and stay with your brother and his family in Seattle. Be safe!
Been following you two for just a short while and enjoying your videos. Have a great time in Seattle ( been there) . Take care of Sweetie.
Nice presentation. You guys are so nice.
My grandmother lived out there when that thing went up and blew the side out, she sent me some ash and some of the local papers from out there.
Hope you plan to visit Olympic and North Cascades NP’s while your in Seattle. They’re both great!
I still have a mason jar of ash that my grandfather gave me, who was born, raised and lived in Portland his whole life. I think I remember hearing that the ash accumulated as far east as Nebraska. Last time I was there was 1994 and the dead standing trees were still like it had just happened. It looks a lot better now. Have fun guys! Safe travels.
Thanks Chris! It was amazing seeing the new growth and the pictures of the devastation and learning all about the mountain rebuilding itself over time with more eruptions! We're excited to see what it's like 10 or even 20 years down the road again!
Love u guys and ur lifestyle and very jelouse. I've subscribed to ur channel and will look forward to your posts. Love Christine UK xx
It is surely a gorgeous place to visit!! Now I want to go there myself!
I saw the ash plume rising into the sky on my way home from school back in 1980. I remember the funny song about the old man that wouldnt leave his home on Spirit Lake that played a lot on the radio. He died there. Ash was falling the day we drove to my brother's high school graduation.
Good job guys!
I lived that eruption was in Everett through all three eruptions
I was living in Auburn, Wa when Mt St Helens erupted. I remember seeing a plume of “clouds” off in the distance & wondered, “What is that?” I still have a jar full of ash I got off my car from it. And I have the brochure that was sold then.
Hey, where did you camp while you were there?
We camped at Kid Valley RV Park. It was $25 a night for just water and electric and we didn't like the price or how busy it got so we didn't make a campsite review of it.
Awesome!! Tks
I’m so jealous lol thanks for sharing it was a great video
( kev)
Go to your local library and see if they have a National Geographic from that time period. It will have a picture of Mt St Helens on the cover. It was a remarkable, tragic event. NG gave a great accounting of what happened. Including the human toll, people who suffocated to death from the ash, people cooked to death in their car. It was a tragic sad time.
Jim went in to the eruption area not long after it erupted in 1980 - said the trees knocked down and the gray everywhere was insane. Seems clouds like to hang out with volcano tops... saw that a lot in Costa Rica ~ also saw a bubbling red volcano caldera in Costa Rica ~ YIKES! Great video and great info!
I was 25 years old when the 1980 eruption occurred. I remember the shocking images of devastation on the evening news. It looked like a nuclear explosion. Nice to see how the area is recovering.
The short film inside showed more information on how it's recovering and it's amazing to learn about it all!
I lived 200 miles as the crow flies when it went off it was like someone set of a case of dynamite in my back yard it was very loud.
I was living in BC, Canada with my family (I was 5 or 6) when mt St. Helens erupted. We felt the eruption. It felt like an earthquake. We went camping to see it the following year.

Thank you for supporting the channel ♥ If we've done our jobs we've inspired someone to chase their dreams!
In October, Ill be leaving for a one year solo tour across the US in my Class A motor home. Since I am taking my dog, I am a little concerned that I will be enormously limited where I can go and what I can see. Could you please share some of your insight and experience with me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You just have to make sure you take your time in finding a spot you can fit into. You can be a little risky, but make sure it's where you have signal to call for help. Never go anywhere that you can't get help if you need it. I use google maps satellite view a lot when researching different sites to stay in too. It typically takes me a while 2 days of research to find a good free site we can fit in that's open to the sun and has signal.
My family live in Oregon and west of Portland and my mom was on the toilet when the eruption happened and felt the toilet roll/wave like on a roller coaster. I was only 2 and don’t remember it but got to do cool hikes as a child up there.
We can still remember the morning when mt st.helens blew. We thought someone was shelling Bellingham harbor. My wife’s parents lived in Spokane, Washington and they got slammed with ash. Isn’t the movie cool when they open the shades? Glad you got to go there. If you look close you can still see ash along I-90 from Spokane to Vantage Washington.
Yes, the shades coming up revealing the mountain was amazing! Highly recommended!
What a beautiful video, and that was a super fat chipmunk! Lol
The PNW is one of my favorite areas in America. So lush and green.
You can go to the USGS website and get recent seismic activity if you want.
I was living in Edmonds, WA . at the time.
You can get up to the minute info from USGS
Have you checked out the Solavore solar oven? We saw a video demonstrating one and immediately thought of you. Bakes just like a regular oven outside in the sun.
Yes an amazing view. .
I remember when she blew I was in Southern California and there was a lot of Ash around down there and there's also a really cool movie that they made about it where Art Carney play the part of Harry Truman the guy that lived near by and wouldn't leave it was pretty cool
Poor Harry Truman !!!
Did I miss something? Did you mention David Johnston and why this observatory was named after him? He was integral in getting news channels to spread the word that Mt.St.Helen was going to erupt. He was seven miles away at an observation point, when he radioed "this is it." It was his day off but took the shift so the man who was supposed to be there could be with his family on Sunday. It is a good video, and I know you were focused on the eruption, but your destination was the observatory named after David Johnston.
Remember it very well...
Love your photography and background on the wonderful locations you visit. Just one suggestion ... you might want to limit the times you say "really cool" during a vlog. There are so many more descriptive words you could be creative with. :)
But it was really cool!! 😉
We were at a swap meet when she blew and when we looked up the ash coming at us looked like a really wicked storm he had to run for cover and it went pitch black from all the ash ! There was also a man that lived at the bottom of the mountain that never made it out they never found him that I am aware of
When she blows again, the visitor center will still be there for next time, being 40 miles away.
They know what's going on with Mt. St. Hellen by the minute. They have their meters telling them what is going on 24/7 they just won't tell the general public.....
Great video, I await Jennies report. LOL
We didn't stay at a boondocking site when visiting here, so there won't be a site review for this destination. Sorry :(
That's no fair, LOL, I like the Jennie reports....since she doesn't get to talk much in the destination video's.
You have seen my wife. She lives for those eruptions. LOL Did they tell you about the man that use to live at the base of Mt. St. Helens? He refused to leave his home and the volcano destroyed his home taking his life.
Harry Truman.
Yep! Harry Truman - no relation to the President.
Yep, he lived on Spirit Lake and everyone made fun of him because he refused to leave.
Here is the link to the volcanic monitoring data stations around Mt St Helens. volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/st_helens/monitoring_map.html
So, the grass really is greener on the other side of the volcano. Oh! and as far as the clouds that kept covering St. Helen, UFOs. It's the only explanation 😜🤣
Haha! That's gotta be it! UFO's!
All so pretty
I didn’t see Sweetie with you...
Most National Parks don't allow dogs on trails and this was no exception. She gets plenty of walks and outside play time when we're home though :)
Love watching you all, you're very entertaining and informative! Hope we can follow along in your footsteps someday!!! We just bought our RV! I think volcanoes have a lot to do with earthquakes - check out this page to see current seismic activity: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ and if you get a chance check out dutchsinse on youtube, you'll find his info super informative!
Thank you!!!
:)
Why does she want to know this info, does she own a degree in geology.?
Most people like to expand their knowledge and this one thing I thought I would get to learn while there. Luckily there are websites with the information I was looking for on them.
DO NOT VISIT SEATTLE! The crime is out of control and the police are hand tied to help. It’s dirty and dangerous like SanFran. It would break my heart if some tweaker stole from your RV or attacked you. Read just today’s news of a couple RV stolen. Love your channel but avoid this ruined city.
Two Feminine people
I was 8 when the eruption happened. I grew up in NE Ohio and the ash carried all the way to my patch of the US. I recall seeing it fall fry the sky and thinking it was odd since it kinda looked like snow, but it was May/June. I hope to make it out there someday.
