| Keeping Portland Weird: OMSI, i.e., Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (0.000000002 astronomical units ≈ 300 m if I got the conversion right) |

| Mt. Hood out the rear window. Still cool. |
 |
| Glacial Lake Missoula Flood, circa 12,000 ybp. |
 |
| Portland's modern skyline, roughly, after another flood similar to the Lake Missoula Flood. Yikes! |
 |
| OMSI's got a Naval Base? The decomissioned USS Blueback |
 |
| Nice! Presumably it's this Nancy Cartwright, not this one. |
 |
| Burgers and Espresso? Is there no end to the coffee craze in the NW? Apparently not. Also saw a sign advertising a combo Reptile Zoo/BBQ/Espresso joint. And then there was this. Sorry for the blurriness...not sure why my hands were shaking so much. |

| Man, this place really has low self-esteem. (image obtained from Wikipedia) |
 |
| Mt. St. Helens, of course. My first time up close. Check out the massive gouge (left-center) from 1980. There has been recent seismic activity, but let's hope MSH isn't gearing up for another massive blowout so soon. |

| Pretty desolate place, but fascinating and really cool. |
 |
| The landscape here is just loose rock and ash from the 1980 eruption I believe. It's constantly being reshaped. |

Would've been just as cool if it were the latter Nancy...
