SUMMARY:PNW in Brief: The Most Recent Ice Age Floods
DESCRIPTION:During this presentation\, we follow the path of the floods from western Montana across the Idaho Panhandle\, through the Columbia Basin and Gorge\, into the Willamette Valley and finally to the Pacific Ocean. We look at some of the major floods features found within the four-state area-features you can see out your windshield as you travel through the floods area. \nPresented by Dr. Gary Ford\, president of the Ice Age Floods Institute \nBrochures prepared by the Ice Age Floods Institute and National Park Service will be available. Books\, videos\, and maps on the floods will be available for purchase from the Cheney- Spokane Chapter of the Ice Age Floods institute.

SUMMARY:The Spokane Aquifer: Legacy of the Ice Age Floods
DESCRIPTION:The Spokane Aquifer is a legacy from the giant Ice Age floods that roared through the Spokane Valley\, leaving behind a porous\, coarse gravel that hosts our communities’ water supply. The Aquifer story includes tales of fascinating\, unique geologic processes and community historical events that formed and harnessed this resource. \nPresented by Geologist Michael Hamilton from the Ice Age Floods Institute

SUMMARY:Cheney at the Head of Channeled Scablands
DESCRIPTION:In this overview\, learn about the history of the Channeled Scablands. We look back to around 20\,000 years ago at the end of the last glacial maximum and at the formation of two huge\, glacially dammed\, meltwater glacial lakes—Missoula and Columbia. We explore the subsequent failures of the Lake Missoula ice dam\, which resulted in a series of megafloods that occurred between 18\,000 and 14\,000 years ago. Then\, we discuss the geologic and hydrologic factors that control lake formations from the Medical Lake area to Fish Lake.  \nPresented by Dr. Linda McCollum\, professor emeritus of geosciences at EWU and of the Ice Age Floods Institute

SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Chapter Fishtrap Lake Field Trip / Hike
DESCRIPTION:Fishtrap Lake\, Washington (BLM Photo)\n \nCome join us for a 5-mile hike to explore the Ice Age floods features in the Fishtrap Lake area east of Sprague\, WA! \nThe Cheney-Spokane Chapter of the IAFI is scheduling a hike at Fishtrap Lake on Saturday\, October 14th. The hike will be led by Don Chadbourne and Chris Sheeran\, geologists and board members of the Cheney-Spokane Chapter. \nDescription of Fishtrap Lake Hike\nWe will begin and end at the Fishtrap Lake South Loop Trailhead. The hike will follow the South Loop trail\, with a total length of about 5 miles. The trail is mostly single track over dirt and rock\, with an elevation gain and loss of about 500 feet. Along the way we will have an intimate view of the channeled scablands that were carved out by the ice age floods and see features including pothole lakes\, rock benches\, Mima mounds\, kolks\, and streamlined and scarped Palouse hills. The hike will also provide wide open views of Fishtrap Lake and the surrounding country. This hike is included in On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods – Northern Reaches\, by Bruce Bjornstad & Eugene Kiver\, but we will be following trails that were constructed after the book was published. \nDirections to the trailhead\nFrom I-90 take Exit 254 and proceed south 3.6 miles on the Sprague Highway. Turn left (east) on Miller Ranch Road and proceed 0.2 miles to the “T” at the Miller Ranch house. Turn right (south) and drive 0.8 miles to the trailhead parking lot. There is a vault toilet at the parking lot. (Google Maps Link: https://goo.gl/maps/9Zz7nwdwziMzHYh69 map coordinates: 47.33381100925525\, -117.863529217959) \nThe hike will be limited to 20 hikers. \nItems to bring with you: appropriate shoes\, day pack\, water\, snacks\, appropriate clothing for changes in the weather\, sun protection\, emergency items\, camera and binoculars. Walking poles will be helpful. \nThe hike is free; however\, donations for support of Chapter activities will be accepted. For additional questions contact Don at 509-891-5875.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Lecture with Dr. Eugene Kiver- “Solving Geologic Problems: Megafloods of Lava &  Water in Eastern Washington”
DESCRIPTION:Where: THE HIVE\, Event A Room (Use Door Code 371047 # to enter.) \n \nBring your lunch and enjoy this Floods lecture from Dr. Kiver during the lunch hour. The Chapter will provide a variety of beverages\, cookies\, and plates\, utensils\, cups\, and crushed ice. There will be plenty of time for questions and answers! \nDescription: The flat\, non-mountainous topography of eastern Washington displaying mostly serene landscapes suggests a quiet geologic origin. However\, a closer examination of the rocks\, sediments and landforms tells a story of violence that would seem only Hollywood could invent! \nMassive floods of lava\, some over 200’ thick and 300 miles long about 17 to 6 million years ago buried a hilly landscape turning the Columbia Plateau or Basin into a vast lava plain called a flood basalt field. No human has ever experienced lava flows of this magnitude. Later during the Pleistocene\, huge continental glaciers covered most of North America and ground much of the underlying rock into silt-size particles that would later become the famous Palouse Soil. The glaciers also created a huge lake that repeatedly failed catastrophically and ripped the rock surface into an astonishing system of coulees\, lakes\, and other landforms that make up the Channeled Scabland. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public. Dr. Kiver is Geology Professor Emeritus after teaching 34 years at Eastern Washington University. He studies glacial history in the West and volcanic history of the Cascade Mountains. He is a founding member of the Ice Age Floods Institute and a member of the IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter board of directors. \nIf you will be coming\, please RSVP to iaficheneyspokane@gmail.com with the number of people. This will help us get the right amount of supplies. Thank you!

SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Chapter Member Appreciation Picnic & Hikes
DESCRIPTION:Members and Friends of the IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter are invited to a picnic where you can meet and network with others interested in the Floods Story. Also you can have an opportunity to ask several geologists questions about The Floods\, meet Board members and learn more about the Chapter\, go on a short hike in Dishman Hills after lunch\, and have some fun while you learn more about where you live\, work and play.  Your immediate family is invited\, too\, and you can also bring potential new members.  Be sure to RSVP! \nCamp Caro Lodge is the gem of Spokane Valley and a part of the Camp Caro Community Park.  It borders the Dishman Hills Natural Area and offers 360 degrees of panoramic views. There is a well-maintained lawn that borders the bluffs of Dishman Hills and there is plenty of parking! \n\nBring your own lunches\, fruit and chips.  The Chapter will provide a variety of beverages\, cookies\, desserts\, and plates\, utensils\, cups\, and crushed ice.\nBring your Floods questions written on a strip of paper for drawings with special prizes!  Some games will be available on the grass lawn.\n\nPlease RSVP to iaficheneyspokane@gmail.com for all individuals attending in your party. Let us know as quickly as you can so that there will be adequate items available for a successful gathering of “flood enthusiasts!” \nA word about the hikes: \nThe geologic hikes will start at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and are free. We will meet at Camp Caro lower parking lot off of Appleway Boulevard. Geology tour guides will explain and show how the giant floods of the Ice Age sculpted the land in the Dishman Hills. The 1 p.m. hike will be a bit shorter\, and the hike beginning at 3 p.m. will be a bit longer and more involved. Bring a picnic lunch at noon to meet members of the local chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute at Camp Caro Lodge and check out displays with lots of free information. Questions? Call Michael Hamilton 509-747-8147.
