SUMMARY:🗺️ Cheney-Spokane Chapter Fall Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 18\, 9:00 AM – approx. 3:00 PM\nNo cost • Car caravan format • BYO food & drinks \nAfter a summer of record heat\, haze\, and delay\, cooler weather has finally arrived—and so has our rescheduled fall field trip! Join us on Saturday\, October 18\, just one week after our annual membership meeting\, for a full-day exploration of the northern Cheney-Palouse scabland tract. \nThis year’s trip will spotlight the landscape that first led J Harlen Bretz to propose a massive outwash flood beneath an ice cap—before he reluctantly considered Thomas Pardee’s theory of glacial Lake Missoula as the water source. We’ll trace their steps and interpretations across key sites\, guided by: \n\nDr. Linda B. McCollum\, Professor Emeritus at EWU and current chapter president\nGlenn Cruickshank\, who has meticulously mapped Bretz’s and Pardee’s field notes using Google Earth\n\n🧭 Trip Overview\n \nWe’ll meet at 9:00 AM at the Cheney-Spokane Chapter parking lot (1st Street & Cheney Plaza Road\, south end of Cheney) for a quick briefing. From there\, we’ll caravan to: \n\nTurnbull Wildlife Refuge HQ – hike and discussion of scabland channels\nWilliams Lake Cataract – second only to Dry Falls in scale\nAmber Lake – loess island and classic scabland topography\nLunch break in Cheney – bring your own food and drinks\nFish Lake (Cheney-Spokane Road) – scour pools and rock blade formations\nMarshall – glacial outwash delta and broad flood channel features\n\nWe expect to wrap up around 3:00 PM. All stops have ample parking\, so there’s no limit on vehicles—everyone’s welcome! \n📝 What to Bring\n\nYour own food and drinks\nA signed liability form (click on the red button below to download and print one that you can bring to the event)\nCuriosity\, good shoes\, and maybe a camera!\n\nThis is a great chance to revisit foundational flood geology with fresh eyes and expert insight. We hope to see you there! \n \n
