Two months after a landside on SR 504, drivers were able to retrieve their cars from the Johnston Ridge Observatory.
SKAMANIA COUNTY, Wash. — Drivers were reunited with their cars as we got a new look inside an area of Mount St. Helens where a landslideEarly Friday morning, six drivers met with Washington State Department of Transportation crews at the Hummocks Trail parking lot to get their cars from the Johnston Ridge Observatory, where they were parked.
It was the first time they’d been able to return to the location since the landslide caused catastrophic damage to the highway leading up to the observatory. The road remains closed to the public.“I thought they were going to be covered with dust or who knows what, you know, windows broken out or whatever, but no. A couple of birds left me a little present on the hood and everything’s fine. All the cars started on the first try,” said Roger Freeborn.
“You never know, out here in the wilderness. All-around best-case scenario,” said Robert Cornejo Garcia. Currently, the road is only open to the Washington Department of Transportation and the U.S. Forest Service.
