Over several days in early October 2004, Mount Saint Helens released several plumes of steam and ash.

These pictures were taken from Rainier, Oregon, looking across the Columbia River.

While I was taking pictures of the ash plume, a car carrier came by heading down the Columbia River.

Here are some pictures of another ash plume. I am not sure if this was still in October 2004, but it was definitely by May 2005. This might be March 8, 2005.

Below are some more pictures of an ash plume taken by my dad, Cliff West, sometime between October 2004 and May 2005. Judging from the trees it was during the winter. I am not sure if this is the same plume as above from March 8, 2005, but it might be.
