Well, the geologists that look at this admit, yeah. I mean, they acknowledge that, yeah, you're looking at... Victor Baker in 1973, when he was a grad, I think still a graduate student, he wrote a paper on his studies northeast of Spokane, Washington. And up to this point, nobody had ever done a detailed hydraulic analysis of these flows.

There was a couple of, you know, Brett's calculated flows in Washington, J.T. Pardee with the U.S. Geological Survey.

uh calculated flows in um in eastern montana western montana uh we're going to look at some slides here in a minute where i'm going to show you um in western montana there's gigantic flood features and there were two geologists bretts and party independently studying these two things and then in the 1950s geologists began to put those two things together

One of them, western Montana, was Glacial Lake Missoula, and then eastern Washington was the Channel Scablands. And see, the geological community has accepted the reality of what's termed the Missoula Flood. But it's my opinion that, again, that the focus is too limited here.

Now, I made, let's see, in 1999, I did my first transect up the Rocky Mountain Trench up to the headwaters of the Columbia, up to the headwaters of the Okanagan River. I followed the Fraser River down to where it discharges at Vancouver with my good friend and colleague, Brad Young. He's been with me, helping me with this research since the 90s. And, uh,

In every case, you could see the evidence for tremendous peak discharges and they're all headed towards the south. And when you see the maps, you know, it gets complicated, but where I diverge from the conventional view is that the conventional view looks at the sources. Everything is Lake Missoula from Western Montana. And I say, no, Lake Missoula was not really a lake.

It was just a temporary holding pond. But the ultimate source of the water was to the north. It was over British Columbia. It was the massive amounts. I mean, the Cordier and Ice Sheet from northern Washington up to Alaska could have been enormous. close to a million cubic miles.
