If you mean 'extinct as Mt. Shasta', it's not very extinct at all.  Indeed,
Shasta *probably* erupted within known (white man) history.  It's just about
as *extinct* as Mt. St. Helens.  There's *a lot* of seismic and hot-steam/
venting activity going on around there.  (Don't mean to flame, but I grew
up midway between Shasta and Lassen -- yes, in the sticks -- and have
a Geologist for a husband.)

For your information, none of the Cascade Peaks (save, maybe, Mt. Mazama
[Crater Lake] :-) are extinct.  

Just wanting to set you straight.
