Back in the winter of 2020 when we were all sitting around at home, I attended every session of your Washington State Geology 101, online. It blew my mind. I got the opportunity, and have been wondering around the state for almost a week now. Incredible! Thank you so much for opening this door for me! Keep up the good work. Best wishes to you and yours, especially in this challenging time for Liz. Just an old farm boy from Indiana.

[@BudKnocka]

Thanks Nick I’m sure all the ZENTERDS do wish you and Liz the best this holiday season! Not forgetting our favorite Mascot “Bijou the Wonder Cat 🐱 “

[@lordofthieves8200]

Man this just made me grin the whole time. Love seeing Hannah and Chris in their natural environment.

[@rayschoch5882]

A pleasant and unexpected surprise! I hope Liz is very much on the mend from whatever it was, your stress level has appropriately diminished, and I'm happy to see you out in the field with Hannah, Chris, and groups of people carrying hammers. "How did I not know about that?" Because it's not possible to know everything, Nick, even if it IS in your own geologic back yard. Lighten up, and welcome back.

❤. Thank you for the unexpected session. Keeping you and Liz in my thoughts

[@wiregold8930]

I am so jealous of the students! I miss the days of discovery but at least I can live vicariously through these videos. My thoughts are with Nick and his family.

[@craigmccue2841]

Keeping Liz, you and your family in my prayers!

[@loveistheanswer8137]

Hannah has a nice teaching style. Thoughts and prayers for your wife and family.

[@PlayNowWorkLater]

Hi Nick. I just wanted to say thank you for editing and uploading this video. I know it’s hard being a support for a loved one in need, like what’s going on with you and Liz, and sometimes in response to stress we bury ourselves in work. I don’t think that’s what is happening here. I think you took a few moments for yourself and I’m guessing putting this up was just as much about providing something you need, on top of taking g care of your viewers. You are such a beautiful person. Mostly what I wanted to say here is something I have to remind myself of daily. It’s a bit of a mantra. On an airplane, flight attendants remind us in case of emergency and depressurization, to put our own masks on before we put on the mask of a loved one. It’s a lovely metaphor for life. If we aren’t taking care of ourselves, how can we be there for the ones we love. Take care Nick. We love you, and miss you, but we’re not going anywhere. Take care of yourself, and Liz. We’ll see you soon

[@bernadettelamarca591]

Great and thankful to see you back, Nick! Hello from Marysville, WA. Continuously praying for Liz and the Zentner Family. She's on her way to complete recovery.🙏❤🙏

[@kennethjackson4716]

Glad you had some pre recorded sessions. And that you were up to posting this. Keeping you all in the thoughts.

[@benwinkel]

Whaaat? So glad to see you!

[@JimmymacSEA]

Thanks for taking the time to post that, Nick. It was interesting sTUFF as always, and it was a kick to see "Hansham" in action. Continued prayers for Liz. The video was like a badly needed stretch break after many days of unease for your viewing family.

[@garypaull9382]

Amazing to see you back, Liz must be progressing well! Watching now

[@melaniehefner948]

Absolutely admire your work sharing your knowledge with us and with our you tube prof.

[@diannadoyle8046]

So good to see you today, Nick! Keeping your wife and family in my prayers.

[@DyanEsoap]

Thank you Nick, I love listening to Hanna. Keeping you and Liz in my thoughts.

[@JackMorningstar001]

Good stuff! Beautiful area!

[@mathbrown9099]

Nick, my family spent wonderful camping trips abt mile 7 up Bumping River Rd. This was ‘58-60ish. There was a store there at 410 and BRR. Also several cabins to rent there as well. These were all Native American themed buildings. We went to sleep every night with the river in our ears. I still have such memories of those days. Thanks for reminding me.

[@oldgandy5355]

Teaching Volcanic Geology seems to be a tuff job. Last time I was there, (Bumping River Road) was 68 years ago, and I had no idea what I was looking at. I need to go back. Only thing I knew about volcanoes then was Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and Yellowstone. I grew up in Kennewick, and didn't find out what the Columbia Basalt was until I was in High School in the sixties. Thanks for all you do.

[@LillianArch]

Lovely to see you! What an interesting session. Lots of things to consider. I especially enjoyed the fact you put this out. I think of Liz and all of you everyday. Jeff Tepper striking again was WOW. Then the visit with Chris Mattison and that information: pumice-flattened/unflattened (I have a couple of pieces of Mt. St. Helens pumice collected on a Columbia River beach near Astoria, 1981). Hannah S. and her students! ❤❤❤❤ to you!!

[@jamescouture775]

Still praying for your family and you. Your videos always brighten my day. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@raymonddettlaff1386]

Thank you for this video, Nick. My family and I pray for Liz and your family. Watching your show has helped me pull through a rough time in my life after the loss of my fiancee, Nancy. We are here for you as your extended family. Thank you.

[@colleennobbs7218]

Hi Nick glad to see you back. Hope all is going well ❤

[@Bumping_River_tuff]

Yay!! 🎉 This was shot well before Chinook Pass closed Nov 1... Positive energy to Liz and all of you!

[@kwgm8578]

Hi Nick. I'm considering this posting to mean that your wife Liz is on the mend. May God continue to bless you and your entire family. The Happiest of Happy Thanksgivings to you all.

Thank you - I went back to review the Jeff Tepper/Granite Falls Pluton to refresh my memory. I enjoyed this video and the visit to the Geology 321 class outing. I also have enjoyed some of your casual field hikes with your wife, Liz , and ditto to all the previous well wishes for her full recovery and support for yourself and family.

[@georgerisberg8830]

Thank you Nick for posting this session in the midst of Liz's time of hospitalization. We've been thinking of Liz and you. This was an excellent trip, exposing us to the transformation of tuff to welded tuff. This was a wonderful experience of teaching and learning in the field with your students and colleagues. Thanks for including us in the learning experience!

[@vicf5726]

Nick, as always a treat to hear and see you, sincerely hope all is well with your family, difficult to express a level of regard I and others have for yourself and yours, very best wishes.

Thank you, Nick, for taking us out and about.

I'm still sending strong vibes to Liz and your family as well as enjoying the video. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

[@Elizabeth-uz1mn]

Wonderful video, Nick. Followed along with my Green Trails map re: where you went. Continuing prayers and good thoughts to Liz and you. Kind of odd to think you filmed this just before the Whitbey Island jet crashed nearby, and Liz’s emergency struck. Thank you.
