Somewhere along the Cuddy Valley road, looking east--location is as best as I can remember, but someone who recognizes the area feel free to comment! San Emigdio Mountains on the left. This valley is the trace of the San Andreas fault, and I'm sure that not one in a hundred of the people living in the slew of vacation homes and such along here know they're sitting right on top of the fault. This was where the enormous 1853 Ft. Tejon quake occurred, estimated at >8.0 based on contemporary accounts. Geology in action!
