Ancient Rivers of the Pacific Northwest

Im a colorado Tech university student, I live in northwest oregon near longview. When you first mentioned "Saddle Mountain" early in the video, i first thought you meant Saddle Mountain near Astoria-Seaside Oregon area. lol. Great video, I enjoyed the lecture very much.

Professor, you’re definitely the Bob Ross of geology I hope that’s a compliment because you’re awesome

Watching from Orlando, Florida and stayed through the whole thing. And, I did not even have to! You tell an interesting story and explain it well. Happy Trails.

I thought I was excited about rocks...

Spokanite. Our beloved river could use a discussion. It looks topographically like Colombia might have one gone through for, of maybe its a glacial valley I see. has the Spokane CDA drainage had similar study?

Sure would make your life easier if you just admitted Noah’s flood.

I Especially Find of the Pacific Northwest so Even as You Press out of Northern California and into Oregon and Washington Vancouver in Canada Vancouver Island the San Juans I Just I Love it up there. Paul Walker Interview. MassPaws.

I had to open up google maps to Dry Falls while I listen. Thanks for taking notes.

I found a starfish at a road cut leading to the horse monument in Vantage. Starfish is a saltwater species.

Saved this years ago hoping i would come back. Today is the day.

You have billions of years figured out but still in denial of the worldwide flood 4000 years ago. You have to wait to stand before God The Father to get it right

Every student needs a teacher like this!

Wow! Thank you sir

All happened in 6 thousand years

I thought Union Gap was formed during the Glacial Lake Missoula Floods.

Our Elementary Schools should be Taught this Education. Making it Interesting, Field Trips. 70 yrs old i was always interested in Geology as a Child and still am. Understanding Our Earth, Homeland. Education is the Answer to More Respect.

Very well spoken! I totally enjoyed watching this! Up for learning something new every day! Thanks so much ☺️

You're talking about how the landscape has changed? And the rivers changing their directions. When I was a kid, I heard that rooster Rock in Oregon millions of years ago was a mountain bigger than mount hood So the Columbia river couldn't have been going through there. It had to have gone around.

Love your voice s I learned so much about washington

Canada true pnw. You should mention it's usa pnw. Made a Canadian click bait. Js.

And the great Missoula flood Karma that carved out the Columbia River Gorge that's why we have River Rock in Scappoose Oregon

I admire how much you enjoy giving full credit to the peeps who gathered all this information and drew their conclusions, and the great map makers that lay it all out. Your interpretation and presentation are beguiling.

Utah was under sea water centuries ago , my daddy told this to me years ago just like the river path changes man can not change it river is to mighty spokae is loaded with volcanic rock

That was fun! I grew up on the Columbia and know where all the referenced locations are. I’ve never had much interest in rocks except to find flat ones to skip across the lake. But this vid changed that. I want to take a drive from Portland to Revelstoke and look for rocks. Thank you!

i love this guy!

I’m L👀KING For The “Old” Snake River Channel in The Blue’s? Any Clue? Due TeLL!

Thank You!

Thank you for your addition to more than a century of team work!

What a absolutely fantastic presentation 👏

I wish I had this person as a teacher before I started teaching

You will find quartzite in the Wallowa mountains and up the Eagle Cap wilderness

Best trout fishing you'll ever find in the planet, back in the 70s Lewiston Idaho is like a paradise I have no idea what it's like today.

Nick - that was fabulous! You made it so fun learning about the rivers. We need more people like Nick to teach all of us. Thank you. I will watch again and again.

Born Sunnyside, raised Grandview and you just wiped out my entire “understanding “ of “my” eastern Washington! I recognize every place name you mentioned but I never knew there was sooo much beach frontage over there ( I’m on the coast now.) WOW!

Completely ignores Ferry County

Gotta love the chalk on the pants!!! Bravo blackboards!!!

Vista House area was once named Thor's Crown...

Methow Valley Puh-tay-tuhs'...

Lots of gold discovered throughout the area around Blewitt Pass...

You should add a map of the Mt. Saint Helens area before and after the 1980 eruption and mark the changes made in the landscape and how they impacted the rivers nearby.

The Columbia used to flow through Washtucna and Klodus.

Interesting lecture, a lot of assumptions, especially when it comes to the "grab out of the air" millions of years ideas. This lecture sadly seems to be leaving out flows of water, mud, "river rocks", and other materials (wood that petrified), brought down through the PNW by the ice age Montana ice dam break flows which greatly influenced the geology of this area.

a truly informative video , thank you for teaching me something new today !

Now I know why this guy was one of my cousins favorite teachers at Central! If more teachers were like him, they could actually keep kids interested and engaged.

You got my attention 😂 watch the whole thing 👏👏👏
Interesting 🤔 history, I enjoy fly fishing 🎣 on those rivers.
Thank you

This is one of the most fascinating lectures of any subject I have ever listened to

I brought my 17 year old niece in to re-watch the video just to show her what an example of a great teacher and she totally agreed. She has never ever had any interest in geology but now she has. Thank you been watching your videos for some time now and always enjoy them. Once again Koodoo's on being a great presenter and teacher.

I miss you. You're the best teacher!!!! Thank you!
