October, 2015

The third leg of my October trip over the North Cascade Mountains (first and second here) into the cataclysmically shaped Eastern Washington landscape included visits to:

The terminal Moraine of the Okanagan lobe of the giant Pleistocene’s Cordilleran Ice sheet, The terrain engraved by the Ice sheet and resultant massive floods down the Columbia River drainage, such as The Grand Coulee and Dry Falls, The Grand Coulee Dam – a modern day American engineering wonder, The upper Columbia River below the Grand Coulee Dam

The Daily Bucket is a regular feature of the Backyard Science group.  It is a place to note any observations you have made of the world around you. Insects, weather, meteorites, climate, birds and/or flowers.  All are worthy additions to the bucket.  Please let us know what is going on around you in a comment.  Include, as close as is comfortable for you, where you are located. Each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.
