Thanks! Yep, I envisioned it being a mysterious crack deep in the earth. I had no Idea it was a visible thing!
I guess you didn't get close-ups of it? I guess I should google it but I thought I had before and I didn't actually see it, just maps showing where it ran.
I think if you go further west there are a jeep tours that take you out to the fault. Joshua Tree National Park was the furthest west that we went. We were staying in Arizona and we did the drive over to Joshua Tree just to see the park and then we drove back to AZ. I had no idea until I got there how close the fault was or anything about it.i wish we would have spent more time there!
yes like if there is a huge crack in the earth you could go stand on the edge and take pictures! maybe that's why they advertising the fact that the fault is there, they don't want people from all over doing that!
There are several YouTube videos about exploring the San Andreas Fault, and while there are cracks in the Earth I didn't see anything that look like a huge chasm where you can see down into the center of the Earth! Just a lot of places where the Earth had heaved up and rocks had been pushed around. The Indian tribes in that area live in huts made of palm branches because if there is an earthquake falling Palm leaves won't kill you the way that a falling building would. It would be a really interesting area to explore.
Oh that's interesting, especially about the palm branches and huts! lol. It would be something to visit!
Well it certainly is much closer for you to drive there then it is for me! I suppose it's going to be a long time before your wife gets any vacation time though
