Road trip curiosities. Vol.one

The road trip though some parts of the US, has lead us through many different sceneries and given us good and diverse experiences.
As we are on the last days of the trip and have no road trip left for this time, I guess that many of those good and some weird experiences will start to settle and will give some reason for reflection and maybe a good back laugh, if you know what I mean by that.
One little funny episode on this journey happened in the state of Washington at the beginning of July.
Had just left our friends at lake Oswego and were heading up to Seattle. On our way we would pass mount ST. Helena, and had been suggested to drive up there to have a look. And man, was that beautiful. Not only the 31 something mile drive up to the mountain, but also the mountain it self; huge and solid and some kind of threatening, as it had been back in 84, where it suddenly erupted and brought massive destruction to the area.
Being up there was fantastic and like other tourists in this digital age, we wanted to have out phone taken in front of that mountain. First we tried it the "do it yourself way" with an iPhone, arm stretched out and then trying to hit the two faces and get the best view. everyone is doing this nowadays, but the result is mostly crap, and the only thing you really can see is the two faces posed in an odd way, the way I'll describe as "the Facebook way".
An older lady approached us from a car at the lot with her husband, and friendly and good meaning as she was, she offered to take our picture in front of the mountain. She was handed the iPhone and I tried to instruct her to press the button looking like a camera on the screen of the phone.
As we were standing there posing for the picture and the friendly lady fiddling around with that phone, which seemed, for her, to be some sort of science fiction device from a 1950ies alien from out of space movie. She did try her best to direct us, but kept saying, that she was not quite sure if this was good, she couldn't really see for the reflection, therefore she would just take another one.
We thanked her as she handed back the phone, and she and her husband were on their way to another good viewpoint. At that moment none of us take a look at the pictures, this happens later when we finally arrive at our hotel in Seattle.
So here are one of those nice photo's that nice lady shot of us at Mount St. Helena!
