[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1266327, member: 498"] I spent most of 1983 up there in the blast zone of Mt St Helen bucking up the blow down. I cut the last strip on the upper Green River where the river ran into standing timber. It was pretty surreal. Everything was blown over headed down stream. Douglas firs that were 8 feet in diameter laid down like you combed the valley. Then within 300 feet or so the timber was all standing and green. The blast just lifted up. Upstream for miles everything was blown flat and them suddenly everything was a green virgin forest. The valley is probably 4 or 5 miles across from ridge top to ridge top and the elevation difference from the valley floor to the ridge tops has to be at least 2,000 feet. But you could just about draw a straight line from one ridge to the other where the blast lifted. [/QUOTE]
