Wait a minute. This guy had no idea why trees would grow on high ground not inundated with floods on a regular basis. And he thinks that the high ground was a mud pile build 11,000 years ago. And he thinks the dirt hasn't moved in eleven millennia. In a flood plain created by glacial recedation between 8 &10 thousand years ago. oookay.
