You get a two month holiday with all the camping, photo, video, science and survival gear you could possibly need in one of the following. Where are you going?

You can't change the course of history, just experience and observe. You can only travel by walking... so pick one location/region.

@futurebird the bursting of the dam of Glacial Lake Missoula at the end of the last Ice Age

@jaykaydee @futurebird Having lived many years in the "scablands" of Eastern Washington, where would your observation point be?

@Gaythia @futurebird it's an interesting question - need to find somewhere with enough elevation for a good vantage and safety! But probably close to the origination of the outflow.

@jaykaydee @futurebird My bias is that watching the lake drain from a vantage point above Missoula would be the least dramatic. Clark's Fork Canyon would be exciting, nps.gov/parkhistory/online_boo. But my bias is with the scablands ttps://www.nps.gov/parkhistory/online_books/geology/publications/inf/72-2/sec5.htm. As long as you are arranging to go back in time anyways, why not use a satellite for an overall view?

@Gaythia @jaykaydee @futurebird Looking across the Columbia in the direction of Chelan and seeing the way the far bank was long ago scrubbed away is a really impressive memory.
