Hot Rods to St Helens

59imp · Nov 23, 2009

this past summer the Billetproof crew sponsered a cruise up to Mt. Saint Helens right before the Billetproof Drags. i drove the Impala down the 350 or so miles the night before, only to wake up to heavy fog and rain. only a handful of cars showed up but we all decided to take the drive up and see if it was clear up top.

early Sat morning

the 40 ford was really nice

we got to the top and it was no better

the fellow in this truck was a tough cookie no fenders or wipers, and uncorked his pipes before he left.

very nice deuce

this 57 came from an estate sale, was all original, even the belts and hoses, paint, interior, was a one owner, spinster school-marm driven car.

lil' rain never bothered me.....

well i was a little dissapointed to drive all that way and not see the volcano, so after the races on sunday i drove back up by myself to get a look around, and it was worth the drive, let me tell you.......

even after 25 years it's really amazing to see the devastation that's left.....

the far ridge past my car is 11 miles from the volcano, and you can still see trees that were knocked down by the blast

if you want a cool road trip on a terriffic highway, go to St. Helens
