Susie and I spent a long weekend up at Pt Reyes. For those who don't know, it's a national park about an hour north of the golden gate bridge. If you look on a map, you'll see two thin bays, one from the north and one from the south. The San Andreas Fault runs right along that line. Pt Reyes itself used to be part of the Tehachapi mountains near Bakersfield. In the 1906 earthquake, Pt Reyes moved 20 feet--yes, 20 feet--to the northwest. If you visit, there's an earthquake trail and at one point you can see a fence that broke right on the fault line, shifting about 20 feet over.
Once I figure out a system for the new camera, I'll get some better pictures. For now, this is of Susie on a hike we did out in the area of Pt Reyes that mostly doen't have trees, and very much has an Ireland or Scotland feel to it.
