    Used to drive those two highways every day in Engines 81 and 82 of the Naches RD in '08 and '09. I always was curious about and fascinated by the volcanic rock formations on the district, both sides. I regrettably missed one of the road guide guided tours due to my work schedule - so thanks for doing this! Oh and Happy Birthday!

    Happy birthday!!! Congrats on your Senior Pass, we've used ours across the west along with Alaska, Hawaii, and Wisconsin. For the last 3 years we haven't needed to use our pass at Zion NP as we campground host.
    Keep going with the Roadside drive, most beautiful country!!!
    Suggestion, on sunny days maybe try to video of the samples in some shade it might show better.
    Thanks again!!!

    You've earned your pass. Just keep doing what you do I was never a good student in school 65 years ago. If I would have had teachers like your self I would have stayed. I think you have a knack for keeping the people around you glued to the subject even if they have no idea what the hell is going on form the chalk board in an class room to sitting on a feg en rock on the side of the road. At the end of your story I think now I know. Thank you for your time I means a lot. Keep it coming

    I studied under Professor Campbell at YVC 1972 - 1974. Currently working on research around Union Gap. I have found numerous strand lines that formed as Rattlesnake and Ahtanum Ridges were still being thrust up as anticlines. I have mapped ancient lakes that were no more than 100 feet deep when the anticlines rose faster than the Yakima River could cut Union Gap. These strand lines are over a 1,000 feet above valley floor. Yakima River got backed up by Basalt dam half way through the 'Gap'. Konnowac Pass was an overflow for this ancient lake. Today it's a 'wind gap' while Union Gap is a 'water gap'. I have also mapped high water for ancient Lake Lewis that filled and drained many times as Ice Age Floods backed up at Wallula Gap which never got over 1,250 above Sea Level.

    Thanks, Nick! What a great episode to get your lifetime pass! I come from the other side of 410 up to Greenwater all the time to shoot at the old rock quarry that's full of columnar basalts... ironically the old Roadside Geology of Washington book suggests going there for those, but you'd benin danger if you were collecting on a nice day, as you'd be down range of the shooting line at the gravel pit.

    This is so cool, showing in a short drive the number of volcanos the subduction zone formed. Makes me even more impressed with our wonderful Cascades. I see them every day and love the views of them. I am thrilled with what you are doing with this whole educational approach. Thank you, Nick. I've enjoyed the other A-Zs, the backyard stuff, I've learned so much. If I were a young person again and getting started on a career, this focus on the Cascades would've drawn me to Geology instead of Medicine.

      We got our lifetime pass a few years ago during the last year it was $10. It was going to cost $20 for us to go up Hurricane Ridge so it was a no-brainer to get the pass. We've only used it once since then but it's all ready for the next time we head out.

    I can totally relate to just jumping in to problems and trying to figure things out before diving into the literature. I come at the reading with questions that can be answered through the literature. Even diving into things available on the internet. And that way I can figure out pretty quickly if the papers are going to help me answer the questions. Sometimes things are missed and it might not be the most efficient way of tackling problems, but I think it’s one of the way I appreciate your way of learning and teaching. As always, very engaging and informative. Keep up the good stuff Nick!

    Just a heads up. I had a friend who loved finding and catching rattlesnakes. I asked him where he would look. He told me at the base of road cuts in the rocks. js Looking at the dacite plumes Nick pointed out, I immediately thought "porphyry" and possible gold bearing hydrothermic intrusions above them. Really appreciate Nick posting these videos. I learn so much.

    I look out at the second formation that you were at from the deck in the mornings and it never gets old trying to imagine just how it formed.
    Edgar has a great area to hike up the back and get up close and sit at the very top. This area has so many different formations. The Timberwolf volcano is one of my favorite spots at around 6000’ still. It has some hidden goodies if you know where to look. So many great areas to explore, it never gets old studying just what is around here. Thank you for finally doing a video on this amazing place!!!
