About this episode
44 years after it's eruption, Noodles and I camp at the base of the - still active - Mount Saint Helens. We explore the tales of Harry Truman, the lodge owner who famously refused to leave despite the looming danger, and David Johnston, a devoted volcanologist committed to monitoring the volcano and saving lives. We also make a case for why this iconic volcano, nestled within the majestic Cascade Range, remains a must-see destination for nature and history lovers.
