Mt. Edgecumbe dormant volcano by Sitka Alaska.

That's a beautiful sight, but it would take some serious convincing to get me comfortable living there every day. As soon as I hear the word volcano, words like dormant just don't bring me a lot of comfort. Although there is no landscape in the DC area that compares to Sitka....not even close...so I understand the trade off.

Of course from a geological stability standpoint (i.e. the earth trying to kill me) I lived through the earthquake in the Washington DC area a few years back. Up to that point in time I always felt safe/immune from those events because I didn't live in California or Alaska.

One year a guy helicoptered 50 old tires over to Mt. Edgecumbe and soaked them in gasoline. He lit them up and for April Fool's Day everyone panicked because they thought the volcano was beginning to open up! He got everyone laughing but still got a $50 ticket...
 
Like a bear, when it wakes up it can be very grumpy.

The Mt. Edgecumbe high school looks like they get to enjoy some nice activities on the mountain: Invalid Link Removed
Mt. Edgecumbe High is for gifted Alaska Native students. They are the smartest, kindest, respectful kids I've ever met. And competitive, healthy, happy, and polite. I can't say enough about how good the kids are...

I’d help him pay That ticket! :roflmao:

(said the guy who lives a bazillion miles away from an active volcano) :whistle:
