New springs for my CRF300L Rally Raid suspension |S6-E123|

In this episode I first ride to Williams Lake because I want to visit Soda Creek and ask a specific question to the First Nations people here. It turns out to be a very interesting visit, and afterwards I continue to Prince George, to replace the springs of my rear shock with stiffer ones.

In the year 1700, on January 26, at 9:00 at night, in what is now northern California, Earthquake was running up and down the coast. His feet were heavy and when he ran he shook the ground so much it sank down and the ocean poured in. “The earth would quake and quake again and quake again,” said the Yurok people. “And the water was flowing all over.” The people went to the top of a hill, wearing headbands of woodpecker feathers, so they could dance a jumping dance that would keep the earthquake away and return them to their normal lives. But then they looked down and saw the water covering their village and the whole coast; they knew they could never make the world right again. That same night, farther up the coast in what is now Washington, Thunderbird and Whale had a terrible fight, making the mountains shake and uprooting the trees, said the Quileute and the Hoh people; they said the ocean rose up and covered the whole land. Farther north still, on Vancouver Island, dwarfs who lived in a mountain invited a person to dance around their drum; the person accidentally kicked the drum and got earthquake-foot, said the Nuu-chah-nulth people, and after that every step he took caused an earthquake. The land shook and the ocean flooded in, said the Huu-ay-aht people who are part of the Nuu-chah-nulth, and people didn’t even have time to wake up and get into their canoes, and “everything then drifted away, everything was lost and gone.” Here’s what geologists say: the earthquake that almost certainly occurred on the night of January 26, 1700, ruptured North America’s Pacific Northwest coast for hundreds of kilometers, from northern California, through Oregon and Washington, to southern Vancouver Island. Along this coast, the Juan de Fuca plate was pushing under the larger North American plate, had gotten stuck-locked-but kept pushing until it released, abruptly and violently. The earthquake that resulted was probably a magnitude 9, about as big as earthquakes get. The coast dropped by as much as two meters, and a tsunami brought floods more than 300 meters inland. Geologists now know that the Pacific Northwest has been having these earthquakes and tsunamis irregularly every 500 years or so; their oldest record in sediments goes back at least 10,000 years. The evidence is massive: subsided marshes, drowned forests, sediment layers showing enormous landslides that flowed out on the ocean floor, seismic profiles of the Juan de Fuca plate, and satellite measurements of a coast deforming from the stress of a plate that’s once again locked. In the next 50 years, the chance of another magnitude 9 earthquake there is 1 in 10.

[@marciehall541]

Wow! Thanks for that great geological/Anthropology history! Very interesting to a 72 yo southern Californian who has lived through several earthquakes.

[@danamunkelt3276]

I believe the tsunami from this quake was recorded in Japan.

Part of the Thunderbird and whale story I heard was that the Thunderbird picked up the whale and flew to a great height, then dropped the whale. The whale crashing to the ground was the earthquake.

if you see how these first nation people lived, basically as nomadic hunter gatherers, it must have been a HUGE shock when they were basically over run and pushed out by European culture and European disseases for which they had no natural immunity.

[@aderiley6592]

@counselthyself thanks for this info. Going back another 5-6000 or so years to 12-13000 years before present, there is increasing evidence that an advanced civilization was inhabiting the Americas. It seems highly likely that they were wiped out by a comet strike or more likely strikes, which hit the Northern hemisphere, caused instant and catastrophic environmental devastation and lasting climate change, and most likely brought about the onset of the Younger Dryas period. Evidence points to survivors of this now (presently) lost to us civilization, attempting to spread their knowledge of mathematics, astronomy and advanced (for the period) technology on a global scale post impact, and may account for some of the similarities we see around the world, in several cultures myths, legends, construction methods and astronomical knowledge. To learn more, Graham Hancocks books on the subject are a great starting point where you'll find not only his personal research, but also many references to peer reviewed scientific publications on the subject too. Super interesting to me. It really kind of blows my mind that Noraly is probably riding through areas right now, that were very likely devastated by a comet impact 12 or so thousand years ago. The course of human evolution was possibly completely changed almost, or even literally, overnight! Mind blowing. Next trip through the milky way please Noraly! I recommend something with a bigger screen for that one though....And possibly a nuclear fusion powered motor...😁

[@janoswimpffen7305]

That tour of the First Nations area was priceless! Actually, there are quite few legends up and down the coast about the 1700 earthquake, most of which seem to be quite consistent with the scientific data about its magnitude and location. Most come from people who lived or just happened to be above the coasts of Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula since of course many down below didn't survive the tsunamis. There are written records of the tsunami on the Japanese side. That earthquake has been extensively studied here in the Northwest as it is the best predictor of what to expect for the next Big One.

[@EEB-pp9rp]

Spot on comment. Would just add: The Big One (earthquake) will be a disaster for Seattle and Vancouver AND the predicted tsunami will cause devastation the likes of which has never been experienced in the world at any time in history as all of the development and population growth in this region has occurred in the past 300 years and the there has been a major earthquakes and tsunamis for thousands of years with a consistent timing.

Moose aren't always shy.

As I looked over my shoulder, a young moose walked right in between myself and the house to nibble on the leaves of a small aspen. I could easily have touched him without taking a step, but I didn't want to find out for sure if that was a bad idea. He was young, but still the size of a small horse.

You outdid yourself again today .. Roxanne had a refreshingly calm peacefulness .. the Pit House was a wonder of native architecture in tune with the earth .. thanks to the guys of Arctic Cat ..i hope you lingered at the raging river with Roxanne .. thank you for a special episode ..

[@garyholt8315]

was that the Fraser river ?

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

I laughed with how you mentioned you had a slow start in this video. 😆 So contagious. But due to that, you did manage to see a Moose. Also huge props to Roxanne and Prince George Motorsports for the tour and helping you out! I thought the shop was named or nicknamed Arctic Cat as well. Awesome that they enjoy watching your channel as well.

[@nuggethead7614]

After watching day after day, makes me want to get another bike again and start riding like you are doing. Can’t wait to get started.

Jasper, Alberta, would be a very pretty town if it got rid of the awful stroad running through the middle of it. I spent quite a bit of time around there as a kid. This is a very good episode. I love the interaction with the kind indigenous person. I have a very deep and abiding affection and respect for the indigenous people of my homeland.

[@richardmourdock2719]

I can't imagine how hard Noraly's job really is. Hundreds of k of travel and no footage to provide us. But after so many episodes I trust her judgement. Always great stuff. Ride on Itchy Boots.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

It is too bad the weather impacted the footage. I lived and worked in these areas for 15 years and the highways from Jasper through to Williams Lake are spectacular. Over 90% of her route this episode would have been tarmac but with world class mountain scenery.

[@harlyredhonda9938]

From jasper to WL is a very long way … not the way I would’ve gone ( I’m from bc and I live in WL)

[@Scoottoots]

A lot is not filmed perhaps due to battery life of the GoPro. She has spares but it's time and trouble. I use a Drift Ghost 4K helmet camera with the long life battery module attached. It has a 6 hour battery life. She could film the whole day on one battery charge. Kind of a shame though she didn't visit Wells Gray Park with all the volcanic history so visible, and the waterfalls.

[@jcoats5529]

@@harlyredhonda9938 ya and I would head back to WL and go to Bella Coola for a ferry. She's in for a long boring ride.

[@crizzlyhug]

@@jcoats5529 me too 👍 I did this on my trip last july. If you where there I may even saw you. I was on the ferry at 15th july out of Bella Coola.

[@russsaunders321]

Very cool visit with the Indigenous people in Soda Creek! I really enjoyed the conversation. Alaska is happier now with the new Spring! Big shout out to Prince George Motorsports! Hope the weather improves but it is still terrific following you and your adventures!

[@jepomer]

Really appreciate your visit with the First Nations as you had visited those in your more southernly parts of your journey.

[@rodneycastillo5785]

I'm so glad you're safe. I worried about you because you were in Jasper. I love your show so much I watch every new episode. I'm a 69-year-old disabled American from San Francisco, Ca. Not only do I like the visuals during your rides but you're so informative with your geology and your anthropology. This episode here is one of the best.

[@davidmarshall718]

Why would you worry about her being in Jasper? It is a typical Canadian small town and is extremely safe 24 hours a day, even with the bears on the edge of town, no-one worries about them much, but they do keep aware. I lived in Jasper 5 years, encountered several bears, and the last time someone was injured was so long ago most people do not remember it. A 20-something Jasper woman born and raised here was one one of those killed in the Las Vegas Massacre of October 1 2017, I served some of her out-of-town relatives at the hotel they were staying at while attending the memorial.

[@tigerpinky]

love the history lesson! Also way to pay it forward Arctic Cats! We stopped in Prince George for new tires for our bike trip to Alaska, we new it was going to be mostly dirt/gravel roads from then on (1982).

[@cchu1980]

that's an awesome shop, theyll probably get more business now 👍🏻

[@chrismccray361]

It's nice to wake to a smile. Thank you Noraly. 🇮🇪

[@pakjohn48]

The story telling by the young woman was so good to hear. Thanks again Noraly for your exciting and educational series. Best on KZbin.

[@ardyjay]

If you want to see some results of the 1700 earthquake, come to the west coast of Vancouver Island. Drowned trees along the shore in some areas are indicative of the extent of it.

[@fallscityfirearms5713]

I loved how she handled the rock carving of the sasquatch being..... "see there's a moose and an elk,...see the antlers? and here's a bird...see the wings??? oh that? that's a "smiley face"....🤣😂🤣

[@redtankgirl5]

Well Noraly, it depends on what part of Canada you live in. When I lived in Northern Alberta I saw a number of moose but now that I live in New Brunswick Canada on the east coast I see probably at least 10 moose a year if not more in my yard and more driving around. I’ve also seen quite a few in northern Ontario. Sightings are subjective I guess. Love that you enjoy them so much.

[@The_Story_Channel]

Yup, I live in Alberta and have yet to see a moose but it depends on location, I am from NS and lived in NB for a number of years and I have seen many moose in those 2 provinces.

[@MarcSherwood]

When I lived in NB, and we were doing long night drives, my father would have my sister and me stay up watching for moose. It seems that you do not want to hit one of those on the highway, or backroads.

[@billcotton1551]

The rock pictographs were awesome!

[@cognitivedissonancecamp6326]

Best episode in NA. Thank You to Roxanne Pop for being so generous with their cultural information and history. It would be amazing if you stayed up on Soda Creek with those folks and really learned about them, got some footage of life in the Alpine Summer.

[@nealsteik9408]

Fascinating visit to the First Nation area, one of the most entertaining videos you've posted recently.

[@garyholt8315]

great when she visits locals, more so for natives 😀👍🇨🇦

[@SteifWood]

*_Ars long, vita brevis!_* Apart from all the plate tectonics, geology and scenery, what I really appreciate with Noraly is that she's a vivid scientist in the fields of ethnography, anthropology and ethnobiology too. And always with her continuous smile and happy twist to any obstacles. A real problem solver and a remarkable woman.

[@grandvitaraoverlandgt2171]

History, Geology, Motorcycle trip… Drone flights… This channel has everything!

[@roccococolombo2044]

C'est toujours intéressant de vous voir parcourir le Monde avec le sourire. On aurait aimé vous voir au Québec, espérons que ce sera pour une autre fois. Merci.

[@Flyinglazy8s]

20:41 Her giggle is so infectious I can't help but smile! I love how positive she is.

[@rickbullock4331]

Another great video. That Indigenous young lady you talked with was informative but unfortunately had no knowledge of the earthquake from centuries ago. The average person would never come upon that place by accident. Nice to see the bike shop extending Canadian hospitality to you. As always, take care and ride safe.👍👍🇨🇦

[@timmytom]

Fascinating video with the young lady . I learnt more today. Well done the garage .

[@jhoe434]

Hello Noraly, it's good to see you again and👍 Ride safe always🙏
