Day 8 started off with a bang! Literally! We spent the night in Olympia again and drove south in the morning to see Mt. St. Helens. We went to their visitor center and they had an amazing educational center with a lot of cool displays and artifacts from the blast. We were unable to get really close to the mountain due to most of the roads still being closed for winter but we were able to hike around at the visitor center. Along the hike we encountered some slithery creatures, see if you can tell how many snakes there actually are in the photo! We were both completely grossed out (not Adam of course) by them and there seemed to be a good number of snakes hanging around in the grass along the trail so we made the hike a short and sweet one but man was it worth it! The view of the mountain was beautiful and as you can see there is still a lot of snow on it from winter. After that we headed back to the campground and decided to relax for the rest of the day. This was the first time in 8 days that we really got a chance to camp, have a campfire, go swimming in the lake at the campground, and sit and catch our breath. We plan to start making our way north and get ready to head into Canada soon!
