Dedication

Thanks are due to my lovely wife, Micky, for her support and encouragements with my writing efforts. She is the one that helps
by cleaning all the seeds out of socks after each day in the field.

Introduction

The Channeled Scablands are a geological feature of the pre-historic ice age flood arising with Lake Missoula and eroding the loess soil
depositions found in parts of current day Eastern Washington and the Northern parts of the State of Idaho.

The top soil erosion with deposition of soil and rocks, evidence of waves from the ancient lake, dry falls at several places in the Scablands
and channel depositions such as Normal Hill in Lewiston, Idaho are all geological evidence of the out pouring of tons and tons of water that
escaped Lake Missoula when the ice dam broke at the end of the last Ice Age.

This book is a rambling effort to point out stories and histories of the people and wildlife that find their homes in the Scablands of Eastern Washington.
And as always, Thanks to all my readers and friends who read this. Gerald Hickman
