SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Members Meeting and Public Lecture 2026
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to the public\, but only IAFI Cheney-Spokane members can vote during the member meeting. It will be held in the Liberty Lake area at the Doris Morrison Learning Center at 1330 S. Henry Road.  Exit the freeway south on Barker Road\, turn left at the roundabout at Sprague Road\, then right at the three-way junction on Henry Road. \n\nSaltese Uplands Conservation Area hike: 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM\nShort Member meeting: 2:00-2:15 PM\nSpeaker: Glenn Cruickshank (a.k.a.\, Google Earth by Glenn) (beginning after the Member meeting)\n“Dating Erratics — an IAFI-funded project — the results!”\nSynopsis: The Spokane Chapter of the IAFI is partnering with a University of Massachusetts research team to locate and study glacial erratics near the Ice Age Floods breakout zone in North Idaho and eastern Washington. These boulders—stranded high on hillsides as the floods tore through the region—hold important clues about when and where the floodwaters moved. By determining the ages of these erratics\, researchers can better reconstruct the timing and pathways of the cataclysmic events that shaped our landscape.\n\nNote: At present\, we have openings on our chapter board.  Our board meets the second Tuesday of each month from 10 AM- 12 PM at the Cheney Depot in Cheney.  Interested? Members with expertise in accounting or K-12 education or medical experience or any other expertise that would aid our chapter’s mission should send a very brief vita to Dr. Linda McCollum\, President\, IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter\, lmccollum@ewu.edu \nPlease use the button below to sign up for the event and optional hike. Your registration helps us plan more smoothly and ensure a great experience for everyone. \nFor those coming on the hike\, please download and fill out this form for each participant\, and bring it with you to the trailhead.

Two different rock types and vegetation zones intermingle. Columbia Plateau basalts and Okanogan Highlands granites are both present in Northrup Canyon having been exposed by glacial activity and by the Missoula floods erosion. Shrub-steppe habitat is adjacent to native pine forest and the trail follows a historic road.
