I drove a 10,000 ton freighter up the Columbia River, I think it was in 1966.

Entering the Columbia River has always been a dangerous game for ships.

Thanks blam.
Note: this topic is from 9/09/2019. Thanks Openurmind for the topic. I'm tired from the day, and didn't even check to see if we'd had a topic about this in the GGG list before this.

seeing how far inland that is - amazing.

Although the last “ice-age” floods that tore down the Columbia River (entering from the Spokane area) was 13,000 to 15,000 years ago - so anything farther west was swept clean of any artifacts.
