Default Trivia! (ver. Mt St Helens)

Between 1831 and the 'big one' of 1980, how many times has Mt St Helens erupted?

Bonus: what were the years?

That's close enough for me. Some sites are showing it was 1849 some showing 1850, it's within a year and all the others match up.

You get.... 5 points for correct answer and the 2 point bonus!

Wait...
So what are the chances? A major lahar on Mt. Rainier happens about once every 500 to 1000 years. And it's been about 550 years since the last one. That means the window is open. It could be hundreds of years before it happens again. Or it could be tomorrow.
