Mysteries of the Channeled Scablands and the two Detectives who Solved it.
Richland Library 955 Northgate Dr., Richland, WashingtonGiant Pothole near Washtucna, WA Over 100 years ago, scientists discovered the unique landscape of the Channeled Scablands of Washington. By studying clues in Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, two of them pieced together the evidence that led to their conclusion which was scoffed at by many of their colleagues. After more than 20 years of field study and overwhelming evidence, most of the scientific community finally agreed with them. See how today, new detectives are in the field with new technologies to unravel more of the mysteries of the Channeled Scablands. Lloyd Stoess, President of the Palouse Fall Chapter of the IAFI, will show pictures and explain the evidence of the enormous Missoula Floods that carved our landscape.
