    None of this addresses the fact that meanders develop on a completely flat surface i.e. a piece of glass due to the nature of how water moves i.e. the sine curve. It would be nice to have a simple description of this. My high school teacher demonstrated it on a sand board. Absolutely fascinating

    The Fraser has lots of meanders in its upper stretch SE of Prince George (called the Robson Valley as Mount Robson is at the SE end of it), and especially in the Lower Fraser below Hope. Hatzic Lake is a meander that became an oxbow lake, for a prime example; it was a meander of the Fraser at one time.
    I look forward to your piece on the formation of the Fraser-Whatcom Lowland; did you know the Fraser used to exit via Bellingham Bay and that there are ripple formations in the Everson WA area farmland, which is the rise of ground between what had been Sumas Lake (until it was drained in the early 20th Century) and where the Fraser would have flowed at one time...... I think into Bellingham Bay but maybe north of there I'm not sure exactly.
    There's a huge switchback on the Fraser between Fountain and Lillooet just above the Bridge River Rapids, which are formed by a rock shelf and which in gold rush times were called "the Falls of the Fraser". But it wasn't cut by a meander but the result of the river being forced to turn north 180 degrees, then south 180 degrees, within a mile radius, despite the 5000'-7000' peaks on all sides.. .when you do visit you'll note the benchlands north of Pavilion are sometimes higher than what's below... but a slide at Texas Creek about 20 miles south of Lillooet is known to have formed the bench where the Keatley Creek archaeological site is (a few miles north of Fountain; but benches south of there were formed by a more southerly blockage of the river... around where Hell's Gate is south of Boston Bar (which is on a bench, but which would have been underwater when the benches between Lytton and Lillooet were formed.

      @@Ellensburg44 I haven't had the time to write you but have had in mind a list of features I would be great to hear your take on them... once you have understood them. in addition to those mentioned above already. Mount Meager has been steaming lately - something to do with its ice being gone from climate-change melt it's releasing pressure still active beneath.... there are six fumaroles now active (big ones) near the summit).
      BC volcanics is a whole series by itself but your video on Seattle's geology had me wanting to see you, or someone, do the same for the Lower Mainland-Whatcom County lowland and the Lower Mainland's various landforms. Nazko Cone west of Quesnel has rumblings deep under it indicating magma movement; it's the youngest of the Anahim Volcanic Belt which begins on Queen Charlotte Strait near Alert Bay. Tseax Cone in the Nass destroyed a large Nisga''a village about 1690 I think, or 1790.
      But for visible volcanics in range of Seattle, you really can't beat the Squamish-Whistler area, which is also the way you get to Mount Meager and the Bridge River volcanics near it. Look up The Barrier and The Table and of course the famous but not recent but rather ancient Black Tusk and other notable landmarks of the Garibaldi Lake area. Brandywine Falls is a huge lava flow forming a cliff, along which the old cattle trail (now a bike trail) along the edge of the lava flow north of it, which overlooks the upper Cheakamus above Daisy Lake. and which has Highway 99 and the railway on top of it... along that trail there's ponds that have lava crystals below the surface... which you can stand up on, same with other lakes nearer Squamish. The upper Squamish River and its pass over into the upper Soo River also has yet more volcanics. Given Mount Meager just north, it has me wondering what may be under the Pemberton Icecap. Which is melting significantly... as is the Lillooet Icecap and all our others... another whole episode worth making.... I wish I had your production skills and delivery - and the time - to make such videos.
      You'll note on the map there's a certain spot along the Fraser where north of it, tributaries flow into it northwards, and south of it more southerly in alignment e.g. the Bridge and the Thompson vs Churn Creek and the San Jose and Quesnel Rivers north of Big Bar Ferry. The reason is that area was the centre of the Fraser Icecap.
      The benchland country of the central Fraser Canyon and lower Thompson will entrance you....and it's all gravel access, other than south of Pavilion. Bring your tent and extra gas and water ... 'cause you may not feel like going back to what they call 'civilization' and may want to spend a few extra days out there....though there's dude ranches and also the Echo Valley Spa and Resort at Jesmond, which looks super-nice though I've never been that far up.
      But maybe the most interesting of our glaciation stories is the nexus of canyons focussing on Lillooet.... which includes the U-turn at the Fountains as well as Cayoosh and Seton and Bridge Canyons and the strange bit of floating plate (?) that is Fountain Ridge, that I'd like to hear your take on. One point of interest, if you can find the mineralogical map of the Bridge River Canyon (Mission Pass to Moha), you'll see a bewildering fracture zone of different materials... the pressure of the Bridge Glacier wound up abutted against what I think was a nunatak of the Shulaps Range and Mission Ridge, which is an eastern extension of the Bendor Range.... .
      And then there's the story of the formation of Seton Portage, which I can advise you that the local band and BC Hydro are now studying, with an eye towards a crack on the northeastsernmost face of the Cayoosh Range along Seton Lake.
      I'm not a geologist but maybe should have been; I have several upper levels credits in geography, though not physical geography. But if when you come up here you'd like a research assistant and local guide do let me know... and maybe you and me could have a little chat about translating some of what I know and would like to write on into academic credit towards finishing my incomplete degree.... ?

    Nick, a great river to use as a reference that you actually were using is the Mississippi River. The land rose so much during one episode of the Madrid Fault going off (during a Grand Solar Minimum) an earthquake, lifted the land so much the Mississippi flowed the opposite direction. For a short time but, wow! Is this true or is this hype?
