LANDSCAPES – A free program entitled "Magnificent Journey: A Geologic River Trip with Lewis and Clark through the Missouri River Breaks of Montana" will be presented by geologist Otto Schumacher at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, at Jack & Dan’s Tavern, 1226 N. Hamilton St., in Spokane.

Social hour and a chance to order dinner starts at 6 p.m.

Schumacher will present a slide show based on his and Lee Woodward’s book of the same title.  The geology and landforms of the Missouri River Breaks will be described as they relate to the colorful history of this spectacular river system, from the Lewis and Clark expedition to the mountain steamboat era and modern day usage of the river.
