Great picture, Dave. Thanks for a wonderful post.

One little note, though: I can see Mt. Shasta from where I live near Klamath Falls, OR, and I can say from personal observation that about the top 1/4 to 1/3 is almost always covered with ice and snow. I like to think of it as a handy visual warning in case Shasta ever starts to get ready to erupt. I figure that as the lava moves up, the snow will melt. If I ever see Shasta as clear of snow as you show, I am going to start worrying!

Still, a great post. Thanks!

Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

Sgt, USMC, 10 years proud service, Inactive reserve now :D

I have no idea why its like that, it seems odd to me as well. Mt. Rainier is just as tall and it has snow on it all the time in FSX.
