White Bluffs Landslides via Bjorstad

Bruce Bjornstad has been doing a series of drone YouTube videos on eastern Washington land forms. one of his latest is an ongoing large slope failure at White Bluffs.



The Ringold Formation lake sediments are sensitive to water inputs and have had large failures at multiple locations in Franklin County all along the White Bluffs as well as along one the south side of one of the ice age flood coulees. Bjorstad's video is on a reach of the bluffs I have not visited and is an area of the most recent large scale active movement. I have visited several of these slides and posted on them:
