Absolutely, I would love to hear and see what you have to share...
I've always tried to get as much visual information on the historic
eruptions of other cascadian volcanoes like Mt. Mazama and Hood.

Subject: Mt. Mazama now known as Crater Lake


Hi Folks,  Well today both computers are working, so I thought I would tell
you about some things I saw, while on vacation to the Oregon coast last
week.  We stayed one night at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood.   Very
impressive as a first time visitor.  I mention this as a point of interest
for Seismic Events, past and future.   I understand these mountains in
Oregon and Washington are still active, if you just wait..........As with
Mt. St. Helens in 1980. 
 
Mt. Hood is around 11,000 ft.  "They", not sure who They are, say it too
will awaken in the future.   That is one big mountain.   Great place to
visit.   We also drove to Crater Lake, which used to be called Mt. Mazama
and about 7700 years ago was bigger than Mt. Hood.   I think the rim of
Crater Lake is around 6000 feet which means about 6000 feet are missing.
7700 years ago is recent in geological terms.  People were living in the NW
around 10,000 years ago.   Whether the eruption that obliterated Mt. Mazama
happened in one day or over a longer period of time, 50 cubic kilometers is
missing from the mountain, compared to .5 cubic kilometers from Mt. St.
Helens in the 1980 event.  If you compare Mt. Hood and Mt. Mazama as they
were, and then look across the caldara of the now Crater Lake, it is hard to
wrap your mind around the enormity of such an event.
 
If this is of interest to anyone, please do write me and I can send you
pictures.  If anyone has additional information about the area or locations
of ash deposits from Mt. Mazama, feel free to contact me.   I have many more
questions than answers about this subject.
 
Thanks,Ted
