Thank you for sharing it is impossible to take a wheelchair on these trails and I really miss these views since I've gotten older.My first exposure to college level geology was in 1972 and I've been enjoying your lectures since about 2011. My point is- take it to heart when I say thank you because I am sincere.

At 73, I'll not be making treks like this anymore. I started college as a geology major, switched to math, then computer science so labs were at a terminal and my field trips were to flight test locations, mostly inside a room with lots of computers and displays. Thanks for sharing, and be grateful for profession that keeps you in shapre.

I can only imagine how many dozens of excellent walking and hiking trails there must be in Washington State offering all kinds of interesting and informative geological knowledge combined with the beauty of nature especially when walking along a raging stream as you filmed here. I would say a lifetime of walks! Thank you again for taking us along on your nature trails with your students. It's the next best thing of being there with a great geology teacher to provide insight and knowledge as well as mutual enjoyment. Well done. Greetings from the Train Lord in Australia.

You created a monster. I love the geology but my wife just loves the rocks. UPS has just delivered her a brand new rock polisher and we are headed to the Prineville Oregon area to see what we can find at the BLM rockhounding sites nearby. I am the guy that recommended the OSMO stabilizer and will take ours on our little trip. Thank you again for all you have done to educate folks. Would love to get the chance to shake your hand sometime and sit in on a class.

When I was in the undergrad years as a geology major (back in the late Pleistocene) we were required to have a hand lens around our neck on any field trip. And any field trip that involved banging on hard rocks, e.g. metamorphics, we were encouraged to also have eye protection. My right eye was saved from a flying splinter of gneiss by a pair of safety glasses. Always good advice for young geology students

There have been 2 fires in the area in the past 27 years. The Rat Creek fire of 1994 brushed through this area. In 2014, the Hansel Fire swept over Ingalls Creek. Fire damage is still visible, some scars resulting from firefighters trying to contain the fire boundaries. That year over 1400 wildfires burned greater than 386,000 acres in Washington State. The Ingalls/Peshastin Creek area is still a beautiful treasure in the midst of desert and dry terrain.

Thank you for taking us on the adventure. It feels so good to be out & about again. Very interesting rocks today. How old is the zeolites surrounded by Mt. Stewart batholith? 10:37 The same age, because the zeolites form as a secondary mineral in the batholith? Some of the rock seem to be high in iron minerals in the rock formation? Are those rocks a little extra heavy? On the Oregon Central Coast we find rusty lava flows, because they have so much iron in the lava. Red flows on black & covered with black lava. There are some in high sulfur, making them yellow. Seems to be special places mixed this way.

@@cyndikarp3368 Hi, Cyndi Karp. I think, from what Nick said, that the xenoliths are incorporated in the batholith (granite or granodiorite) while the magna is molten and are pieces of the crust that didn't melt. So perhaps they could be older. (BIG question mark.) I don't think they grow once incorporated into the batholith. Please, anyone, correct me if I'm wrong.
@cyndikarp33683 жыл бұрын
@@lizj5740 I'm sorry. I had zeolites & xenoliths mixed up. Zeolites grow in the granite. Xenoliths are rocks the granite surrounds, when softer & still hot. But, that means the xenoliths, foreign rocks could be either one. They could be younger, if from a sinking sea floor. The xenoliths could be older than the granite. So xenoliths it could be older, if the rock was broke from the older craton. Which could occur when the granite is forming pushing through craton rocks. It could be older if the rock came from an old subduction plate, laying like a ribbon. Older that when the granite formed, but accreted from older sea floor. Maybe from the NW, from the Arctic Ocean Belt or Baja BC travels of the Mt Stewart batholith

This truly feels like home. I freaking love this state. *At approximately the 10:00 mark when your student makes the comment about it looking like gabbro...that's exactly what I was thinking. The Mt. Stuart batholith looks strikingly similar to the Snoqaulmie batholith. Check out Bandara mountain which is approximately 10 miles east of North Bend. USFS 9030 and 9031 has amazing blue agate and the granite/diorite sits above an outcrop of limestone and andesite. There are also a couple of dacite exposures in the area along with a minor amount of serpentine. There is also rhyolite and sandstone along with metachert zoning. The geology is crazy and confusing, but always fascinating.

Most of the rocks out here consist of granite, rhyolite and gabbro. There's a ancient divergent boundary about a mile from where I live, the side of the outcrop "soil" has been eroded and there's some amazing geological formations. Oklahoma State University Geo students are out here all the time doing their studies. It's pretty cool watching them work.
