Nifty place to snoop around.

It's a great article and the photos are tops. The theory isn't that new, but the interesting thing, to me, is the extent of the geological formation based on channeled remnants, and the greater Columbia Basin. Now you know more about where I live. The beauty really is endless, but you have to get used to brown instead of green!

Wildlife is maybe no more abundant here versus Western WA, but at least we can see em! Moose, elk, whitetail, mulie, black bear, rumored brown bear, wolf, coyote, fox, badger, turkey, riparians unnumbered, including Golden and Bald Eagles, cougar, lynx, bobcat, the list goes on. People are scarce, but where they do habituate, things fall apart quickly.

Everything sucks pretty badly. You wouldn't want to move here, though.

Giant flood? You don't say. There is evidence of it everywhere in the world. So easy to see in the desert. It is eluded to in various ancient literatures, but, we have educated ourselves out of it. It is there, for anyone with eyes to see...

The definitive research on this topic is by Graham Hancock in his latest book, "Magicians of the Gods". Greater detail than NatGeo's. (probably piqued their curiosity...)
