Have you been wanting to see some of the features on the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail but just wasn't sure what is out there or where to start? Mr. Thompson has once again gone out to explore some of the newest attractions on the Trail and will bring you an update of what there is to see and do, so you can plan your own exploration. Mr. Thompson was intrigued by the land formations and erratic boulders in the Lower Columbia area, so he embarked on a 25-year study of the effects in NW Oregon and SW Washington of the largest of the ice age floods. Though geology is not his profession, the Lake Missoula Floods have become his passion.
Mr. Thompson is President of the Lower Columbia Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute; has been interviewed for a number of newspaper articles and was twice featured on Grant McOmie’s “Grant’s Getaway” television program.
He has created self-guided driving tours based on field trips he led and authored the book: “GigaFlood – The Largest of the Lake Missoula Floods in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington” which is illustrated with his own photographs, maps and diagrams to show you the evidence still visible today from this catastrophic flood which so affected the Northwest.
