Before we got to Seattle, we had to check out the famous Mt. St. Helens. It was still snowing up at the top and there were a lot of roads closed but we managed to check out the bottom of it, along with the sweet Ape Cave. The Ape Cave is actually an old lave flow tube for Mt. St. Helens and I guess, although we walked through it, if Mt. St. Helens was to erupt, I think it would still work. We took our chances with it anyways. Were crazy dumb like that. Haha…It was pitch black, wet, muddy and the dripping of water squeaking through from the ceiling was anything but reassuring. We forged ahead, nonetheless, step by step, with only a lil LED flashlight my mom got for us, and suddenly, yep..you guessed it…Ryan stepped in a hug puddle with his white sneakers on. I told him to where his hiking shoes. Did you guys think I was going to tell a bat story? Nah…although the brown bats and deer mice do live down there, we were fortunate enough to escape Ape Cave without any bats getting caught in my curly rat’s nest head. We didn’t go the whole mile through it, we were too smart for that, totally unprepared with our gear and alright…a bit frightened.
So, we hopped in the RV and headed for Seattle!
