Thanks for those old photos. Am I right in thinking based on your photos that the Carbon Glacier was advancing during this period? It would be fun if someone could post current photos for comparison.

I can do that.

Yes and no. Drift to AGW, models, predictions, public policy, etc. would be off limits but I don't see user contributed observations illustrating glacial retreat or advance to be all that contentious.

I can change that, and manage to find a way to blame our governor and dictator.

Not sure why you would want to. I'd think historical images / comparisons would be of interest no matter what your beliefs are. I suppose the topic could be contentious to any who don't believe glaciers have retreated, but I think the debate tends to be about the other stuff (causes, predictions, public policy, etc).

I don't have photos. But memories of walking in the Paradise Ice caves as a kid in the '60s vs doing a ski tour today and having to travel essentially to Cowlitz Gap before reaching the lowest extent of ice on the Paradise Glacier. The Paradise has retreated over 3/4 mile and 600 vft in the last 6 decades. In the valley below Cowlitz gap the ice used to be hundreds of feet thick and now there is no ice.
