The Klamath was said to run upriver all the way to Wetchipek in 1700.<br />I lived on Scenic Drive south of Trinidad in the 80s. The cliff down to the road exposed layer after layer of river rock and a layer of clayish stuff near the top. Geology classes from HSU would come to look at it and I learned that each layer was an uplift from an earthquake and that the stuff near the top was the floor of an old lagoon. This had to be 200 feet above sea level, with an earthquake about every five feet.<br />The old timers used to tell me this country is trying to become a beach, by which they meant erosion in soft rock. Looking at that cliff, I realized that earthquakes are winning that battle.Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-924013241079711992.post-12473811472902885772011-03-16T20:54:10.689-07:002011-03-16T20:54:10.689-07:00They also talked about the Mew Madrid earthquake t...They also talked about the Mew Madrid earthquake that changed the course of the Mississippi River.

The only difference is they said that cascadia earthquakes are only 200 years apart and we are 100 years overdue.
