number one. don't name a drive-in this:number two. mt. saint helen's ... she indeed blew her top may 18th, 1980.

if you're lucky, the anniversary day before she blew,

they'll open the road to powell observatory

before then you gain elevation

if you're among a good friend

you can take a nap as soon as the road ends and not get out of the car

till after your nap because you're on vacation

number three. the drive did make me want to hike her. number four. levi is a lasting friend
that i think was slightly enchanted by the trees of the nw.i'm grateful for his friendship even if he preaches to me
it may have been the "preacher" graphic novel he bought at powell's amongst other books
i made it out with just one b/c i'm poor.
back to my ode' of levi
i'm grateful for his ease and not placing expectations on trips
he's always been a great friend to call at the last minute and say...
hey i want to go hike here
if he can, he makes it happen
cheers to a weekend of book reading, hikes, drives, eats, scrabble, and spring sun
