«Miner's car». This car is located near Meta Lake, some 15 kilometres from Mount St. Helens' crater. The family that owned it was visiting relatives near Meta Lake when the 1980 eruption occurred. None of them survived. Fences were installed to stop vandalism by souvenir hunters. Later the fence was removed again. Life returns in unexpected ways: In 2001 we observed chipmunks using the car as a hideaway.
