And the Fouth Mountian. From along the Columbia River.

From Coldwater Creek VC view deck.

Coldwater Creek Visitor Ctr. Currently the last place to see St Helen's, Hwy 504, MM43. In upper right is the lava dome in the crater, steam is rising. Only other way to see crater, by air tour, as I did April '25, Kenmore Air, from BFI, Rainier & Helen's. 10/10.

Last post, correct location, Elk Rock VP. This is best location to see Mt. Adams.

Elk Creek View Point, Hwy 504.

Stopped at the WA St Parks Visitor Ctr, Hwy 504, MM5. Decided that conditions may be pretty good by time I get to Coldwater.

Another, see it, shoot it. Mt St Helen's, South side, Chelalis, visible for a few seconds, grabbed the camera, set in M from prior use, not right, got the shot.

In the theory of see shoot it, got this from Lakewood, thought the sun was rising and opposite my location, get a shot.

Over the 40÷ years I have been shooting pictures, I have found the most important is, see it, shoot it, as long as it's safe to do so. As you may not get to see it again. During the World Premier of Missing411 National Parks WA St., I had to see if The Mtn. Was Out, it Was.

A Shout Out to: Brandon Fugal @BrandonFugal of Skinwalker Ranch, I follow you sir because of Skinwalker Ranch and the mysteries it contains. This is a Very Big Thank You for helping David Paulides @canammissing bring Missing411 Natioal Parks to fruition. A 10/10!

Trump has now installed the Christopher Columbus statue on the White House’s grounds. He ended up putting it outside the EEOB building, per our photos snapped today.

Sen. John Kennedy pushes a reconciliation bill to fund DHS and ICE without Democrat votes. He says it needs only a majority. “It would take 50 votes plus Vice President [Vance].” “We ought to… DO SOMETHING INTELLIGENT.”

Markwayne Mullin’s nomination advances, and Sen. John Kennedy follows with sharp remarks targeting Democrats. “I would provide that members of Congress CAN’T BE PAID… CAN’T LEAVE Washington, D.C. during a shutdown.”

Iran hit Lebanon. Fucking idiots. These delusional Persian zealots just launched the geopolitical equivalent of Hitler’s Ardennes gamble in ’44...fucking suicidal, strategically brain-dead, and the death rattle of a regime that’s already rotting from the inside. Picture it: the bunker in Berlin, April 1945. Der Führer, veins popping with amphetamines and copium, hurls his last reserves...tired panzers, boy soldiers, and Volkssturm cannon fodder...into the Ardennes in a desperate “offensive” that was never more than a tantrum wrapped in Wagnerian fantasy. No logistics, no air cover, no realistic path to victory. Just pure Führerprinzip psychosis: the belief that sheer will and one last apocalyptic spasm could reverse the tide of history. It didn’t. It accelerated the collapse. Same script, different desert. The mullahs and their IRGC sock-puppets are running the exact same psychological pathology right now. Terminal regime narcissism. Decades of proxy warfare, sanctions, and internal rot have hollowed them out...economy in freefall, youth revolting in the streets, Revolutionary Guard more interested in smuggling and suppressing their own people than actual warfighting. So what do they do? Fire ballistic missiles at Lebanon like it’s some masterstroke, thinking they’ll bleed Israel into exhaustion or drag the axis of resistance into a final Gotterdammerung. It’s not strategy; it’s the bunker delusion. Cognitive dissonance on a national scale: the ayatollahs literally cannot process that their “invincible” axis is crumbling, so they double down on the very actions guaranteed to invite precision annihilation. Militarily? Pathetic. Hitler’s last offensives burned the remnants of the Wehrmacht in days...fuel-starved, outranged, outmaneuvered. Iran’s missiles? Expensive fireworks with questionable guidance, launched from hardened sites that are about to become smoking craters under Israeli F-35s and whatever bunker-busters the Americans quietly greenlight. Hezbollah’s tunnels and rocket caches? Already shredded. The IRGC’s “human wave” doctrine is just 1980s meat-grinder nostalgia dressed up as martyrdom. No combined arms, no sustainment, no real escalation dominance. Just the same desperate lashing out that got the Third Reich curb-stomped into unconditional surrender. It’s textbook thanatos on a theocratic level. When a failing regime confronts its own mortality...economic collapse, demographic time-bomb, ideological bankruptcy...it doesn’t negotiate or reform. It chooses the glorious death spiral. Hitler in the bunker: “If the German people cannot win, they deserve to perish.” The mullahs: “If the Islamic Revolution cannot dominate, let the region burn.” Same narcissistic death cult. Same inability to accept that history doesn’t owe their apocalyptic wet dreams a happy ending. They’re not masterminds; they’re cornered rats with ballistic missiles and a Messiah complex. And the funniest, most lethal part? They’re accelerating their own extinction. Every missile they fling is another nail in the coffin of the Islamic Republic. Israel isn’t playing defense anymore; they’re in extermination mode on the proxy front. The U.S. is watching with folded arms and carrier groups on standby. The bunker is getting claustrophobic. The mullahs can scream “Death to Israel” until their lungs collapse, but the only thing dying is their regime...slowly, publicly, humiliatingly. This isn’t “resistance.” This is Hitler’s last days with Persian characteristics: impotent fury masquerading as destiny. The clock is ticking. The bridges are burning. And when the dust settles, the only thing left of this clownshow will be the smoking ruins of Tehran’s delusions and the satisfied silence of those who finally had the balls to finish the job. Fuck around and find out, you eschatological retards. 💀🗡️⚖️

Unlike the Democrats who turn their backs on these patriots, @POTUS and @secduffy are CHAMPIONS for the Americans who keep our air travel running smoothly every day 🇺🇸

She wasn’t in the “wrong place” at the “wrong time”. She was an American college student taking a walk in public with her friends, which every American should be able to do without the fear of being murdered by criminal illegals. Sheridan Gorman was only 18 years old.

Quick reminder that 6 years ago the left burned the country down and committed thousands of acts of violence, vandalism, and destruction under the justification that black people are allegedly abused and tormented by police officers every day- and yet we haven’t heard a single word about this topic in 5 years.

Jack, how dare you invoke the name of Charlie while your tongue withers in silence against the vipers now circling his widow. Six months have passed since the bullet stole every unlived tomorrow from Erika and those babies, yet here you are, draping yourself in borrowed sanctity, offering empty benedictions to the heavens as if your selective piety could mask the rot beneath. This is no mere lapse of courage; it is a profound pathology of the soul, a Nietzschean ressentiment dressed in Navy intel drag and Catholic cosplay. You feast on the corpse of Charlie Kirk’s legacy for likes and retweets, signaling virtue to the tribe, but when true loyalty demands you stand up to the psychological predators who pathologize a grieving widow’s every word, excavate her past for Epstein-adjacent phantoms and single-mother myths to feed their conspiracy porn...you fold like the philosophical coward you are. Where is the Aristotelian philia, the perfect friendship that binds one to defend a brother’s house unto death? Absent. In its place: Machiavellian calculus, the bad faith of Sartrean mauvaise foi, where principle dissolves before the altar of factional survival and clout. Fuck you, Jack. Charlie deserved warriors at his flank, not performative eulogists too psychologically impotent to shield his widow from the wolves who profit by desecrating her. Your tribute is venomous hypocrisy...lethal in its precision only to the memory it claims to honor. The right fractures not from enemies without, but from men like you within: hollow vessels echoing greatness they lack the viscera to protect. Your silence diagnoses you as terminal: a grifter masquerading as guardian. 💀⚖️

I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima.
