Good picture... congrats on your 4th score above 6 and earlier ribbon in only 9 tries.
The unfortunate truth is that Mt. Rainier will erupt again, it is only a question of when. The biggest danger will be from lahars, a hot concrete-like mixture of snow melt and rubble that flows down river valleys outward from the flanks of a volcano. In 1985, a lahar from a Columbian volcano 47 miles away killed 20,000 people in the town of Armero.
In the case of Mt Rainier, "moderate" lahars will flow all the way to Puget Sound through downtown Tacoma which itself is build on the remains of previous flows. Fortunately, Mt Rainier has an experimental lahar early warning system already in place.

| Nice farm shot, I love your background. I like the sharpness of the barm and the overall warmness the yellow of the wheat gives. |
