The Cunningham Company was traveling from Seattle to Portland. But for some reason the production team had wrangled a mini-van and were traveling separate from the group. I’m sure that I was myself, Jane, Aaron and Betty but there was at least one dancer with us. I think that it was Jeannie Steele.
It was a raining and unimpressive day. But just before we reached Portland we went off 5 and up into the Mt. St. Helen’s area. We stopped and the visitor center and got the background. Then we drove further up into the mountains. The scale of it was truly unbelievable. whole valleys had been filled with sludge. Entire mountains all the trees had been mowed over like that had broken by a massive giant.
When we got to Portland we could see the Mt. St. Helens from the top floor of the hotel.
