That is where I grew up, @silvertop. I lived there when Mt. St Helen's blew, and I feel like I can still taste ash. Ha ha. I moved away after college, but still get out there from time to time, as I have three siblings in the northwest.

We almost moved to that area before moving to the Pacific Northwest!😊
We were both born and raised and living in Cincinnati. When Mount Saint Helens blew, I had a thick layer of ash on my car!
Amazing how the winds carried this ash across the country!🙄
