BRETZ LIVES!
After months of avoiding the Bretz book, I'm back to writing. It's a wonderful feeling - I just hope I can keep it going. I owe my recovery to John McPhee, at least in part. I've alsways known the only way out of writer's block is to write, write, write. But try as I might, I wasn't able to get the first words to stick to the paper. Then I read McPhees Draft 4, which has a wonderful section containing the cure. Here's a segment from the the several pages I worked on before I was sure I could actually... Continue reading

Up Fanno Creek - Redirect
At the end of last year I decided to give up my .COM address for the UP FANNO CREEK blog I'd been more or less (usually less) maintaining since 2008. Several folks have asked how to get to the material, which may still be accessed here. Not all the links are serviceable, for reasons unknown, and I am not planning to re-activate the entire blog - what's done, is done, and my book on the creek is pretty outdated by now. My active advocacy days are behind me - unless something local to Thurston County dicatates otherwise. I'm more fully... Continue reading

Thanks to a reader who caught an error of fact in this post and brought it to my attention in the kindest sort of way - The title of the paper from which I took the Bretz quote was Washington's Channeled Scabland (not "Scablands" as I wrote it.) The quote itself is correct, however - Bretz used the singular of the term in the title; but both forms appear within the text. More on this interesting little tidbit later, perhaps.
THE GRAND COULEE
Umatilla Rock, a remnant formation in the Dry Falls Cataract formation. Last Sunday I was fortunate enough to accompany a number of "Flood Nuts" on a hike around Umatilla Rock on the floor of Dry Falls cataract. Our guide was Gene Kiver, one of the most knowledgeable Ice Age Floods experts a...
Thanks, Avice. I'm glad you liked the post. Please keep me in your loop, and I will for sure let you know if I ever learn more about the origin.
Drumheller Channels
Daughter Erica surveys the Drumheller Channels from a ledge overlooking Black Lake. The view is to the northeast; but if you did a 360 here, it would look pretty much the same in any direction. The bones of this vast plain came into being sometime between 16.5 and 13.5 million years ago, when t...
