Ah a sweet young bear! I'll bet your kind voice made him or her not so afraid of people. Thanks for a geo-walk... A big tree the size of those you showed us, died a few years ago on our property near you. We left it for another year to make sure it was dead. When we cut it down for winter stove wood, we counted her rings = 60 yrs old. When it died suddenly, the trees right around it shot up, thriving. We say this "Mother" tree gave up her life so the young ones around her could thrive and grow. A few yrs later those young trees adjacent are now as big as she was. Bless her...
Wrestling blackbears ... gneiss!! I miss the northwest terrain, thanks for bringing this ruggedness to our doorstep... stay safe from the fires and smoke
This video will be important to watch again (with colored pencils)! Super dirt riding road, and better to see it now with geology eyes. I'm glad you were alone, and saw the bear, it's a lovely area. I always remember Charlie Mason when I hear 'Swakane biotite gneiss.' Looking forward to fitting more pieces together. Thank you so much.
Hi Nick... Mike here ,,Im putting a story about all the video that I watch the past years ..And I mean a lot of them ,some twice or more ...from you ..And learn a lot .it all good and some amassing ...I have you to thank for ..you will be the first to c it private first ..thanks for everything Nick ,looking forward to the next video ...
My Dad worked for UW geology department in the seventies. I've been all over Washington in a jeep you make sense of all the different terrain we traveled. Baja to Bc I always wondered why up and down the west coast we ran into similar terrain that we were used to seeing here. It makes sense to me now. Nick for President. Thanks for sharing.
I was a new faculty member in geological sciences beginning in 1974. If your dad was Jim Carter, I certainly remember him. He set me up in my first office, reserved vehicles-a key man in that department.
what I take away from all of the trips you are taking and sharing with the world is, *never stop learning* (I mean, it takes an effort of will to think you know all you're ever going to know and stop anyway, but, it always helps to have that shown to you, by someone else. Thanks Prof!)
Every video of yours that I watch I want to just run out and become a geologist 😅. Thank you Mr Zentner for all that you do and for taking time out of your life to share your passion with us.
This is gorgeous to me I love these Rocks! Of my beautiful Washington State. I’m always homesick watching your rambles Nick! Swakane Gneiss in the Canyon & a Black Bear what a day! Not to worry Nick. You are doing fine job articulating the information from my standpoint as a total novice!
"Just me" as stated in the beginning will do for me! This Professor is a good balance of science, education, a dose of humanity and a great sense of humor ! The rest of the highly educated guests are OK, by any means, I am just below their level.
The genius behind the madness, some mad man along the road breaking rock with a small hammer. Colored pencils, fruitcake, German chocolate cake, you got to love it! Thank you, Nick Zentner ALL stay safe
Totally candid and enjoyable to watch and learn. Calling it Little Black Bear Canyon now. I think he might have desired those planters peanuts..brought to you by.....
I will be honest I can't always understand every thing in your videos but I am fascinated with what I do understand. I take part in the Wenatchee Christmas Bird Count many times and have walked up that canyon to count Birds. I am also a big fan of Itchy Boots and I agree with you about what you shared. She is an amazing person.
As a child, my father took us to see the new Rocky Reach Dam. On that trip he pointed out the Entiat landslide that crossed the Columbia, and backed up the river. I as a child was impressed with the quartz veins. There was also a place where we stopped while northbound on the west side of the river. It was where the rocks were chilled by cold air coming from some unaccessible caves that he knew about. It was in a road cut with the rocks between the road and the river. Very refreshing on a road trip before cars had A.C!
Thanks as always for another field trip Nick! Swakane Canyon is dear to my heart. I have taken the Swakane Canyon road in the past, and you can travel all the way to Cashmere if you keep going. Depending on the time of year, you may find a wildflower that is pretty rare, Thompson's Clover, and you may also find Indian Pipe in the more sheltered spots.
Learning isn't necessarily a comfortable experience. That's perfectly fine. It helps, in a way, to see you get off in the weeds, because we know we're not the only ones, lol. Thanks for another wonderful video. I mean, there was even a bear! :)
THANKS FOR HELPING US THINK ABOUT FUTURE WEST COAST AMERICANA'S GEOLOGY. ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO, I ATTENDED A PUBLIC MEETING IN NEWPORT FOR OREGON TSUNAMI PREPARATION. IN ATTENDANCE WERE NUMEROUS OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY & STATE GEOLOGIST. I ASKED THE LAST QUESTION, AFTER THE MEETING. I WANTED TO KNOW WHEN GEOLOGIST WERE GOING TO DO MORE RESEARCH ABOUT WEST COAST INTER-CONTINENTAL PLATES MOVEMENT & EXOTIC TERRANCES.
Beautiful little canyon you took us to this time Nick. But then, you take us to all beautiful and amazing places. I can hardly wait for "our" home viewing classes to begin this year. I've learned so much. Can't possibly thank you enough.
It's fascinating. Thank you for bringing us along on these journeys. If these conversations were only available from the most serious and accomplished geologists, I would have passed on learning more. Seriously.
I've said it before... you know it's a good day when a video from Prof Nick shows up in the feed. And, today was better than good... Frustrating for me that I'm stuck in Ohio for the foreseeable economic future, but so happy that you are taking us along on your explorations. And, I'm also happy you and the bear parted as friends. Thanks!
Possible we can get hand samples of both the Swakane Gneiss and one from the Mojave Desert for that future episode? Piercing points would be great to see both samples physically side by side allowing the viewer to guess which is from where, even if only for the casual similarities before comparing and contrasting the two scientifically with what is known of each sample from testing and dating, that potentially connects each of them to a specific place and time.
The sparkles showed as well as the layers. You explain so well. I can't tell you the number of times I've driven through there, not knowing what the rocks were. Thanks.
Glad you able to enjoy some wildlife. Seeing a bear is always cool. You said some of it was found way down in the Sonoran desert? Interesting , very interesting.
I was camping in the River Of No Return wilderness in the middle of nowhere Idaho. Seriously the most remote location I’ve been to. Walking along the river, I was noticing the colors of the stones - dry in the unfiltered sunlight they looked like pastel blue, lavender, and pink granites. I noticed a piece of what looked like burnt wood. It was heavy and I thought maybe it was shale, because it looked like it was composed of layers. Each layer was carbon grey to black with tons of pyrite flakes which were heavy when I panned it but too brassy to be gold. It did have a granitic pattern to it too, maybe it’s a chunk of gneiss with biotite! It was absolutely the only rock like it on the river, and not rounded by erosion of any type so I guess someone brought it there, maybe to pan it like I did. Have you ever seen a gneiss with pyrite or even mica distributed through it?
I drive the Orondo side every time and I keep seeing the gneiss. I love the rock on the Orondo side maybe one day you’ll speak on that side.I love all the outcrops that are pushed to a 45* angle with layers of quartz. Mi. Post 173 to 178 I think is the stretch I am so curious about. Love your work, thank you!
It is so cool to get to watch as you puzzle out what you've read as you look at what other geologists have written about. Thanks for sharing beautiful scenery, interesting rocks, and new places with us.
Thanks for the itchy boots comment, and for getting me to follow her amazing adventure. I was hoping you would meet, but not this time. I mention you often on her channel, especially when I see interest in geology.
Yup. I can see the Swakane Canyon in the Mohave. Thanks, Nick for another fun geohike! 😀 I doubt black bears will bother you--you are their size! Not snack sized like Patrick.
Gary & Darryl were wonderful, thanks Nick. Talking about terrains maybe even from Europe. From time so ancient we cannot at this time even conceive how it arrived, the consensus seems to be broken from much larger pieces of the same type. And how the devil was it moved, travailed, from there to here. I have even seen pieces of Victoria Island West or North of Friday Harbor with sure roots from Australia. Looking at how earth crust movements happen, the time involved in transport shows varied and unknown clumps of rock never to have seen sunlight before Nick's hammer showed the sun on it's face for time periods so long to see Darryl and Gary now so old seeming but the rock showing age well and never looking old. With a story our mind can picture. Thanks Prof.
Nice biotite gneiss professor! I have something I believe is similar just across the road from my apartment called "glimmerskiffer". It's a somewhat metamorphosed greywacke with mica in it. Sometimes the sheets are obvious, but sometimes it's metamorphosed to the point where the dimensions kind of get intertwined. If you go just a bit further south from here, it starts to host almandine garnets and it looks more like proper gneiss. Maybe this is from a higher degree of metamorphism? I live just south of Stockholm, Sweden. Also, love those thick milky white quartz veins. I bet there's gold in them thair!
Hello, I watched your video and noticed the rocks you were checking out looked like rocks I just saw in Whitewater Canyon near Palm Springs California. You made a reference to SoCal in your video. This canyon also has the San Andreas Fault running through the canyon. I have some pics and rocks to share. I enjoyed your video greatly. Thank you.
Thanks for letting us tag along again as you grapple with the idea of how to explain to some dimwit like me Baha BC!!! Already trying to read a little and watch your previous works (a second time) in preparation. Hoping for clarification(?)
Collecting rocks, since Sunday I've been to: KY, W VA, VA, Maryland, Delaware, PA, NY, PA and New Jersey. All your fault, I use to just sight see! lol Headed for NH and Vermont too! ha
This gneiss seems to be on one side of the Entiat fault. Further north and west the same rock would be found on the other side of the same fault and about 30 to 40 miles away. It was a wild ride so to speak. Further reading a paper from 2018 by Sauer,Gordon,Miller and others : Provenance and Metamorphism of the Swakane Gneiss: Implications for incorporation of sediment ,etc . It is the latest paper on this particular gneiss and way over my head.
Every time you use bad language, you need to make a deposit into Patrick's scholarship fund!😁 Patrick, you are amazing. Seriously, the scenery is so beautiful, I forget to listen to the educational content. Thanks and keep 'em comin'.
that's a lot of Mica, especially since it's all so uniform it had to form all at once Mike is a clay mineral right? basically it's silica mud that's been smashed...., hmmm
Biotite gneiss, same kind of stuff that makes up the Blue Ridge Mountains where I live. Edit: although the protoliths for our gneiss down here are granitic/igneous.
If I had another life I would be a geologist. Unfortunately I was a music major and mediocre one at that I also watch Noraly. She went thru Burke Idaho. My dad lived in Burke in the 1930s as a child. Lots of hard living there at that time. Used to be big mining in Burke. Now a ghost town.
@@mamak1379 funny. Do you live in Wallace ? When I was young would visit Wallace almost every year. Would visit old family friends. They would tell stories about living in Burke in the good old days. Everyone has passed away. To bad did not have a microphone and recorded those conversations

Came for the wonderful geological content, left with an Itchyboots reference.

I left UNC Greeley Colorado, 1993, so, this information boils in my mind. The twists and turns to shift the geology, well, well, well.
thanks so much for sharing! I am from the East Coast and I love to travel and see different places online. What an amazing place!! Cheers
Thanks for the previews out in the field which are beautiful. Prerequisites for Baja BC. Can’t wait!

I’m very excited to watch this fall and learn about exotic terraces! Thanks for getting ime excited about rocks in my 75 year on this big rock!!
Indeed, these kinds of videos may well be helpful over the winter - and I'm not a geologist, just an interested spectator to Zentner explorations.

In weathered terrain like this you really need a light sledgehammer to get into some unaltered material
Hi Nick. Thanks for making my mind more rhan a jellied waste. And I'm from Georgia where not too many people think about such things as you present.
The developing story of the movement north is fascinating, thank you.
The genius behind the madness, some mad man along the road breaking rock with a small hammer. Colored pencils, fruitcake, German chocolate cake, you got to love it! Thank you, Nick Zentner ALL stay safe

It’s a well known fact that Swakane gneiss is an excellent paper weight.
excellent!
"Do these folks know they're driving through the Swakane gneiss?" They would if they were gneiss people. Be a gneiss person; follow Nick!
I think these are great! I learn as you learn. And it's nice to see the info "in situ." Makes it easier to connect the geological dots.
Thank you, sir. Be well!
Excellent area to hike and enjoy. So....next summer Nick...Me, Ferdinand Marcos, Fly'n Sand Tigers, and Exotic Terranes.
Good Morning, Professor. I am surprised I found you seconds in.
that is a huge amount of rock Nick and to think it will fit in your Baja movement. great story for sure
Thank you professor.
This area looks similar to the local terrain , vegetation and rolling hills of inland Orange County, Ca.

I'm not positive, but it sure looks like... the bear went over the mountain; to see what he could see... (Possibly he found a better rock sample)
