SUMMARY:Mega-Floods of the World - The Legacy of Dr. Bretz' Work
DESCRIPTION:Researchers have established\, based on the pioneering work of Dr. J Harlen Bretz and JT Pardee\, that over 140 Ancient Mega-Flood\, including Noah’s Flood are discussed in oral traditions worldwide. Professional geologist Bill Burgel will briefly discuss how the research related to the Missoula Floods and Bonneville Flood has opened up the possibility of mega-floods being the most likely explanation for the formation of the Mediterranean Sea\, the Persian Gulf\, The Bosphorus Straits\, the English Channel\, Chimu in Peru and the floodwaters on Mars. Mega-flood events are also being cited for the draining of Glacial Lake Agassiz\, Glacial Lake Iroquois and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

SUMMARY:Moses Coulee Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:This field trip will head north from Othello along the eastern edge of the Quincy Basin with stops on the Ephrata Fan and Soap Lake at the mouth of Grand Coulee. Moses Coulee parallels Grand Coulee to the west and has puzzled scientists to this day. Several plausible explanations to its origins have been proposed. This off-the-beat coulee is always a surprise to first time visitors.  \nOn the way back to Othello\, there will be stops at Potholes Coulee and Drumheller Channels which were two of the four outlets for the Missoula Floods exiting the Quincy Basin.  \nGo to www.othellosandhillcranefestival.com to sign up for this trip.
