In June, nine members and friends of our club spent a week exploring eastern Washington. We spent two nights in the Grand Coulee area and two nights in Walla Walla.

There was particular interest in learning about the great floods of the region that occurred over 10,000 years ago. It is an amazing story. And there is fantastic evidence of the floods that was clear to us on the trip.

Our Thursday morning speakers are our intrepid trip survivors who will share their experiences exploring the wilds of Eastern Washington from the comfort of their automobiles.  Thrill to pictures of soaring basalt formations exposed in all their raw beauty by massive floods!
