The plane departed Portland International Airport and climbed quickly through the overcast. Its path took us south of Mount Hood with its late-summer slopes frocked with clouds and its peak nearly devoid of snow. How strange it looked without the snow and ice mantle that we had been accustomed to seeing. Though quiescent at this time, it is still an active volcano and will erupt again sometime in the future to produce changes in appearance much more startling than the mere absence of a snow mantle.
