Hawthorne Bridge: Finished in 1910, this is Portland's oldest surviving highway bridge, a lift bridge, and is one of the the oldest surviving lift bridges in the world. The bridge replaced an earlier bridge - the Madison Street Bridge - that lasted from 1891 until it burned in 1902.[1]
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.
