Location: Portland, Oregon

Glenn Jackson Bridge: This huge structure is the most recent major bridge in Portland, completed in 1982, carrying I-205 across the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington.  The four-lane structure is 11,750 feet long and crosses over Government Island in the middle of the river.

The bridge is named after Glenn Jackson, powerful head of the Oregon Highway Commission for many years who was in charge of building Oregon's Interstate freeways, among other things.

Mt. Saint Helens: This active volcano had its last serious eruption in May, 1980, but had a minor but attention-getting eruption of ash in March 2005 (see photos in this gallery). Mt. Saint Helens was named by British explorers in 1792, after Baron St. Helens. It is only 50 miles from Portland, Oregon.

See the WikiPedia entry on Mt. Saint Helens.
