Mt. St. Augustine Erupts to Welcome Us Home

Image Creator: Eichelberger, John

I cruised into Anchorage after my 4 day 3000 mile journey in our newly aquired VW Syncro Vanagon just hours before the first of many small eruptions from the Augustine Volcano in Cook Inlet. The Island volcano is located 75 miles southwest of Homer. Lucky for us it didn't delay April and the kids flying in later that day. We did get some ash mixed in with a light snowfall but nothing serious yet. They say that this activity could continue for several weeks, hopefully we won't get a large eruption or significant ash falls. I'm anxious to get some photos while out fishing in a week or so.
