I CAN HAS FAULTLINE?
So! I've been lurking around this community for a little while now, but I figured I'd spare you a general/boring introduction post until I had some actual content of interest to post along with it, particularly since I'm actually a music grad student rather than a proper geologist.
That would've been the introduction right up there. See, short!
ANYWAY,catamount3 and I just finished a week-long road trip along the San Andreas Fault from Point Reyes through to San Bernardino (though not necessarily in that order). We've also done some smaller trips earlier this year to poke different sections of the fault. Over the course of these trips, we've accumulated a three-digit number of photographs, and considering the two of us initially met via the internet a looong time ago (though, granted, not in geological terms), we decided to internet-ize our photos a little. But not just an upload, see? That'd be too expected. For all our time glued to computer screens, we've had much exposure to fads involving cats, misspelled words, and the font Impact, and we've decided to extend this treatment to the geology we've just visited.
Thus, we present...FAULT MACROS.
San Jacinto Fault, San Bernardino
San Andreas Fault, Carrizo Plain
San Andreas Fault (1906 break), Point Reyes
Calaveras Fault, Hollister
Calaveras Fault, Hollister
Pinnacles National Monument, Soledad
Roadcut near San Andreas Fault, Palmdale
Calaveras Fault, Hollister
Blind thrust fault (1994 epicenter), intersection of Roscoe Street and Reseda Boulevard, Northridge
Calaveras Fault, Hollister
San Andreas Fault versus Wallace Creek, Carrizo Plain
Reconstructed fence offset by San Andreas Fault in 1906, Point Reyes
Calaveras Fault, Hollister
Signs: Top two from Parkfield, bottom from (gasp!) Loma Prieta
Lotta's Fountain (survived 1906), San Francisco
The museum and interpretive signs at Fort Tejon completely fail to mention this aspect of the fort's history. Or even the year 1857 at all.
