Hi Folks,  Well today both computers are working, so I thought I would =
tell you about some things I saw, while on vacation to the Oregon coast =
last week.  We stayed one night at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood.   Very =
impressive as a first time visitor.  I mention this as a point of =
interest for Seismic Events, past and future.   I understand these =
mountains in Oregon and Washington are still active, if you just =
wait..........As with Mt. St. Helens in 1980.=20

Mt. Hood is around 11,000 ft.  "They", not sure who They are, say it too =
will awaken in the future.   That is one big mountain.   Great place to =
visit.   We also drove to Crater Lake, which used to be called Mt. =
Mazama and about 7700 years ago was bigger than Mt. Hood.   I think the =
rim of Crater Lake is around 6000 feet which means about 6000 feet are =
missing.   7700 years ago is recent in geological terms.  People were =
living in the NW around 10,000 years ago.   Whether the eruption that =
obliterated Mt. Mazama happened in one day or over a longer period of =
time, 50 cubic kilometers is missing from the mountain, compared to .5 =
cubic kilometers from Mt. St. Helens in the 1980 event.  If you compare =
Mt. Hood and Mt. Mazama as they were, and then look across the caldara =
of the now Crater Lake, it is hard to wrap your mind around the enormity =
of such an event.

If this is of interest to anyone, please do write me and I can send you =
pictures.  If anyone has additional information about the area or =
locations of ash deposits from Mt. Mazama, feel free to contact me.   I =
have many more questions than answers about this subject.

Thanks,Ted
