Lake Missoula
Flood
Eastern Washington Scablands
Field Adventure
August
Imagine a raging flood so powerful that
towering waves studded with glacial icebergs scoured numerous, steep-sided
channels, called Coulee’s, deposited giant gravel/boulder bars, formed large
current ripple marks, deposited erratics, and carved high water falls (now dry)
throughout eastern Washington; whatever is an erratic? Post-Flood Glacial Lake
Missoula, in western Montana, was the source of this high energy water. The
water erosion evidences from the catastrophic Lake Missoula Flood is an analogue
for evidences of the World-wide, Biblical Flood described in the Book of
Genesis. Participants in this Field Adventure will stay in the Grand Coulee,
Washington area in outdoor camping facilities or motel lodging with day trips
via car, and some associated hiking to spectacular vistas. One interesting side
excursion will be a guided tour of Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, one
of the largest hydroelectric/water storage structures in the United States.
