SUMMARY:FIELD TRIP INTO MOSES COULEE\, May 3rd\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a FIELD TRIP INTO MOSES COULEE\, DOUGLAS COUNTY\, WA\nSPONSORED BY THE LOWER GRAND COULEE CHAPTER- IAFI \n  \n \nGeologists Dr. Joel Gombiner and Mark Amara will lead an exploration into the most enigmatic of the major coulees in the area of the Ice Age Floods. \nQuestions and theories have arisen for years about how Moses Coulee was formed. It’s long been assumed it was cut by huge floods in the same way the other major coulees are thought to have been formed. But for much of the series of Missoula Floods the Moses Coulee area was blocked by the Okanogan Lobe of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet. Bretz postulated there were two major episodes of coulee formation\, the first much older one occurring before the last\, late Pleistocene major ice advance. Other theories postulate that it was cut by break-out floods coming from beneath the ice sheet that could have occurred during the latest major ice advance. \n  \n \nWe’ll investigate 5 stops on this journey of Ice Age Floods geologic features starting from Jameson Lake near the head end of Moses Coulee and moving south down into central Moses Coulee. This field trip explores the glacial and flood features in Moses Coulee and involves short hikes at nearly\nevery stop.  \nDate: SUNDAY MAY 3\, 2026\nStart time: 10:00 am\nMeeting Place / Driving Directions: Meet at the Jameson Lake WDFW Boat Launch and Rest Area at 441 South Jameson Lake Road\, Waterville\, WA 98858 at this map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kJdwZefZArVUpHQXA\nBring: lunch\, drinks\, snacks\, appropriate clothing and footwear\, camera\, etc.\nBathrooms are available at the first stop only. \n \nThere is NO cost for the trip though Registration and a Discover Pass are required.\nDue to limited car parking at several sites registration is limited to 30 people\nContact Vicki Rivers to register in advance by one of the following methods:\nText: 509.781.1701 or email: suezb@hotmail.com

SUMMARY:Deep Lake Potholes Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join Sun Lakes-Dry Falls State Park Rangers for an eye opening field trip to the Deep Lake Potholes in Sun Lakes State Park on Saturday\, Sept 16. We will meet in the Deep Lake parking lot at 10:00 AM. Discover Pass is Required. \nYears ago\, Tom Foster blogged about his visits to these incredible potholes: \nI must have stood at this spot for 15 minutes Saturday – Amazing Ice Age Flood features surrounded me. In this shot the pothole\, massive butte and hanging coulee all help one visualize the awesome power of the Ice Age Floods. I’m impressed with the large basalt overhang near the skyline. In Bruce Bjornstad’s book “On the Trail of the Ice Age Floods” he describes this undercutting process that was key to the formation of vertical faces in recessional cataracts. \nThe Interpretive Master Plan for the Ice Age Floods in Washington State Parks describes this group of kolk carved depressions – “Another spectacular feature is a tight cluster of the deep potholes beyond Sun Lake just west of Deep Lake. These potholes lie along the valley bottom and require only a 5-10 minute walk from the road.” \n \n \nI’d also like to mention that a fall into one of these potholes could be fatal!
