Welcome to Montana

I crossed the Idaho panhandle and am now in Montana. I rode past Lake Pend Oreille, which was carved out my the Missoula floods.


The last ice damn that held Lake Missoula was right there about 10,000 or so years ago though there were many other older ice dams. The ice dam burst sending a monster flood down eastern Washington through what is now known as the scablands and down the Columbia gorge. The great soil in the Willamette valley was deposited during these floods.
