Lake Missoula Flood presentation July 8, Colfax & St. John

On July 8 artist, photographer, and writer Rick Thompson presents his research uncovering the effects of the Lake Missoula Flood in Northwest Oregon & Southwest Washington. This catastrophic flood propelled over 500 cubic miles of water, ice, rock and mud across eastern Washington, further cut the Columbia River Gorge, covered the Willamette Valley with up to 400 feet of water and left gravel bars miles wide and hundreds of feet high.

With color photos, topographical maps and space photos Mr. Thompson shows the signs still visible today. There are two opportunities to see this great program:  

Tues, July 8The St. John library at noon
or the Norma McGregor room in the Colfax library at 7 pm.
