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?

SUMMARY:Mike Full - In Search of Ice Age Beasts - Library Tour Beforehand
DESCRIPTION:Mike and Volunteers with Grey Wolf jaw bone\nMike Full will present an introduction to the Ice Age Megafauna found in the Willamette Valley and the basics of fossil hunting for them. Mike’s presentation will be 7:00 – 7:45PM in the Tualatin Public Library meeting room. \nColumbian Mammoth partial tusk socket fossil\nThe Willamette Valley Pleistocene Project explores the late Pleistocene and early Holocene of the Willamette Valley in Northwest Oregon. Composed of local volunteers and resources\, avocational paleontologists\, land owners\, and local government working alongside trained professionals and museum staff\, our goal is to discover\, study and preserve our prehistoric past. \nEvery fossil is collected according to scientific standards\, documented\, stabilized and curated into a database open to the public. The entire collection is destined to stay within the public domain and will ultimately be donated to an appropriate educational institution. \nJoin us beforehand at 6:30PM for a special Library Tour of Ice Age fossils on display. Mike’s talk will follow in large Meeting Room at Library entrance. Library Director\, Jerianne Thompson\, will give tour of unique megafauna ice age fossils on permanent display. Please note the Library closes at 8PM sharp. \nMike is a retired Police Officer and native Oregonian with a life long fascination of fossils and prehistoric life. Each summer finds him along a river in the Willamette Valley searching for fossils accompanied by friends\, volunteers\, students and researchers. He has collected megafauna fossils from the Willamette Valley including mammoth\, mastodon\, giant ground sloth\, bison\, horse\, camel\, elk\, deer\, giant beaver and wolf.

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!

SUMMARY:TLS: Connell - The Five Great Lakes of the Missoula Floods
DESCRIPTION:The return of the traveling lecture series! Chapter President Lloyd Stoess will review both Glacial Lake Missoula and Glacial Lake Columbia. Although both of these lakes formed for the same reason their history is very different. When the waters in Glacial Lake Missoula were catastrophically released\, they entered the Columbia River drainage system. On their way to the Pacific Ocean\, the floodwaters were restricted at three different locations forming three temporary lakes. This presentation will give an overview of all of these five great lakes and is a pre-cursor to our fall bus tour that will be coming up on October 7th. Attend one or both\, the choice is yours! \nLloyd grew up on a wheat farm eight miles from Palouse Falls but didn’t learn about the Ice Age Floods until he attended EWSC (now EWU) where he graduated in 1974 with a BA in Geography. After college\, Lloyd returned to Washtucna to work with his father in their family agricultural equipment manufacturing business where Lloyd still works today. \nLloyd was introduced to the Ice Age Floods Institute (IAFI) in 2001 and became a charter member of the Cheney-Palouse Chapter and later helped found the Palouse Falls Chapter in 2015 where he currently serves as President. In addition to the IAFI\, Lloyd stays busy with involvement in the local church\, Lions Club\, Adams County Economic Development Council\, and the Washtucna Heritage Museum/Community Center/Food Bank. \nA flyer is available for download. Can’t make this event? \nSee it in Ritzville on 9/6 at the Adams County Public Works Department @ 7p or in Colfax on 9/13 at the Whitman County Library @ 3:00p!
