Deadly, Beautiful Geology

So, as promised, the picture of Mt Adams. Also Mt Lassen (the farthest south - it erupted in the earlier 1910s, several times) and two of the truly gorgeous Mt Shasta. It's difficult to express how astonishing these mountains are, reaching high into the sky, dominating the landscape, covered in glacier-and-snow even in mid-July... They sit alone, seeming to float over the horizon, and at any moment one might rip open the way St Helens did... and they're so incredibly beautiful.

We're in Susanville tonight...
