The Gorman Post Road was unknowingly built on top of the San Andreas fault.

They ever have an earthquake on this fault it’s gonna destroy DHS.we moved to whitewater and I believe we’re roughly about a mile from the garnet hill fault come to find out

I enjoy your videos. Thank you!

That line is deceiving because the fault itself is jagged on both sides grinding against each other. The liquefaction zone on both sides is potentially one mile or more. The salton sea is a giant sag pond deep enough to have volcanic seepage in the form of mud volcanism with the potential for an actual volcano because the fault is spreading apart while it moves laterally. I have a basket ball size piece of volcanic glass obsidian from the area. This pulling apart and seepage is most evident in the Sea of Cortez which is a continuation of the San Andreas. The faults there look like a giant saw blade. It makes sense that the total destruction zone would be at least as wide as the salton sea. I wouldn't own any of those buildings.

One side of the fault has hot spring waters and other side had freezing cold spring waters. To say builder's didn't know the danger is a lie. Not from you from them. There is a reason for the difference in spring water. THE CITY AND STATE KNEW AND KNOWS. I have to go down there to get stuff from the Hi-Desert. I can't believe people just built here. Most homes are 25yrs or newer. We knew the science and dangers by then. Humans are just dumb.

DHS is a newer town. They knew and didn't care. Money rules everything! They built knowing and people bought these homes and can't get Earthquake insurance. Gotta love it.

hopefully the evaporation of the salton sea is postponing the onset of the big one (as some scientists have proposed)

i had a map of all the revealed faults at the time put out by the national geographic mag. it showed in theory that all faults are interconnected via the lithosphere .if those strands were ever to let loose , ohm my goodness.

1849

So Cal has their Grapevine, Nor Cal has The Grassvine😉 love the area in the winter and spring.

Always honk your horn in the tunnel😂 and try holding your breath the whole way😂 but not if you re the driver!

Out in the south pass Wyoming area there are layers of rock sticking straight up out of the ground. Tilted straight up and down.

Devil's Punchbowl is one of the most amazing areas I've ever visited. Definitely worth seeing.

Garlock: The only significant left-lateral fault in California.

When I watch videos from people talking about history in California I wish I could go back pre 1949, when the gold rush destroyed so much natural beauty that the robber barons exploited so they could become wealthy off the backs of the natives. I grew up in a desert SW that had only desert scrub and very few building. We carried gallons of water driving through the desert in case we broke down along the way we at least could stay alive if we had enough water. All of coastal California was inhabited now it’s pretty much only fir rich people. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It confused me when you pronounced "Coachella" close to correct. No one pronounces it 100%.

I live really close. Stallion Springs. Shakey shakey shakey shake shake

Had a relative that lived in DHS, the fault line went right through a corner of his back yard. Ended up selling and moving to LA Quinta...

/dude, you need to work on your video skills. The camera bounces around when you want, and worse, when you stop you pan the camera back and forth and back and forth. This is really annoying.

Fire bro 🔥👍

Thanks for a great video. I live in the area and I've never really explored the fault lines although I'm really fascinated by them. The fossil finds in the San Timoteo Badlands are quite fascinating too. Hope you produce some more videos about our area. Cheers!

The next time you have a bowl of ice cream, puts some sprinkles in it and then slowly stir it with a spoon. Notice how the sprinkles reveals the movement of the ice cream being stirred: This is what is happening to that rock over millions and millions of years of deep, internal geologic movement being applied to the rock just like the spoon does to the ice cream and sprinkles. It creates flows and folds in the materials.

Thank you for making this video I've always wondered why the rocks looked that way

Good stuff. I live in the areas and have said for years I feel mission creek will be the epicenter of a large quake. If I may point out something you didnt mention. Right there in DHS the fault is built right along and sometimes crosses the colorado river aqueduct. Just thought I would throw that in here.

at 0:15 I referred to the San Jacintos as a transverse range. This is incorrect as they are one of the peninsular ranges which extend to the Baja Peninsula. We are coming out of the big bend in the Coachella Valley where the San Andreas resumes its normal south south east direction. Thanks to viewers for pointing this out!

My sister has a very nice large home in Desert hot springs. She's 65 now, the house was built in 2004. I live in Yucaipa and I'm 63. .and very close to the San Andreas fault too.. just hope it doesn't go off in our lifetime !

My dad owned a house in that new golf course subdivision before the housing crash of 2008, and I'm certain beyond a doubt that the developers didn't know about the Mission Creek strand of the SAF. If they had followed the fault gouge from Indio to the Miracle Springs Resort they would've been able to at least do a survey; but what was done was done. Miracle Springs Resort owes its existence to the Mission Creek strand. On the NE side the water comes out crystal clear and cold and provides much of the water for the city and for the resort; on the SW side hot springs come up from the fault and provide the hot water for their spas.

I thought that the San Andreas actually split the Garlock Fault, with the Garlock extension on the eastern side of the San Andreas being further south than the Garlock on the western side of the San Andreas. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

i have a phamplet put out by the old ca divison of mines . this was a self guided tour and at one time had a map and cant find it. all this is on there . thank you.

Weatever happens we are screwed!!😢

Form 2:08, that is Frazier Mountain Park Rd, not Fraser. The footage starting at 6:45 is along the Cuddy Valley Road, 4 miles from Frazier Mountain Park Rd.

I almost was sent there to build the vestas windmills back in ‘85 but got in a horrible motorcycle accident right before I left from Tehachapi

What's the link to that kml file? I can't find it on the USGS site.

The resort is called two bunch palms. A famous spot for Al Capone and many other famous actors and actresses

This is great ! I lived on the HiDesert for 14 years and loved visiting these places many, many times. I took Earth Science classes in high school and JC so I was aware of the Geological activity of the area. I was in the restaurant business up in the area and came across foriegn geologist and would help them with directions. They were blow away with how accessable they were. Especially the faulting directly immediatly of the I-14

You can see it from Google Earth if you know what your looking at. Your line is a little off from what I found, but very close. It comes out of the hills across the city just above the new high school and goes across the golf course just below that white storage building in the golf course. I was looking at homes in the Mission lake's neighborhood, it's not gated and not mansions but nice mostly older 1970s &80s homes of varying sizes. I was telling a customer of mine, worked in home furnishings in outside of Sacramento at Macy's and sold a rug to a guy who is a geologist and told me before I bought anything to look up the fault lines, boy was I surprised. that subdivision has a gated neighborhood up high nextdoor to it I was looking at too, very nice views up there, the fault line goes out through that neighborhood and on towards San Bernardino. It's about 1200 ft elevation up there, with nice views, needless to say I didn't move up there.

Only California would have tens of thousands of dead windmills ruining the views....btw, they have know about the Faults for over a 100 yrs....smh.

Ohh wow... My college body Jim Oliger from CSUSB was living in that gated golf course community with his wife Diana! I have been there. I was in their wedding.

I've been enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work! I read an article awhile back, don't recall the source, where balancing rocks have been found closer to these 2 strands than they normally are found around active faults. The theory is that when one of the strands slips or has an earthquake, some of the energy "steps over" to the other strand, reducing the amount of shaking in the area.

I can't tell you how full blown artistic I find this video on a whole lot of different levels ! Thanks .......

Proverbial "Train wreck" on a global scale !

Thanks for a great video , no doubt gonna get very "interesting" for a lot of People some day , my Wife was in the East Bay area for the Loma Prieta "event" , didn't sound all that fun to me.......

Been there many times. Still looking for some antelope. 😂 🦌

California is nuts.

Owens Valley is one of my favorite places to visit. travel the road to Cerro Gordo! That one is fun, at least the road to the Whitney Portal is paved, Cerro Gordo's isn't! Don't need a 4WD but it is steep. The Owens Valley isn't a proper valley as we know them, it is called a "Graben" which is a depressed block in the crust caused by the movement of the two mountain ranges. A typical valley is caused by erosion. Just an FYI, thought it interesting to note it. Owens Valley is an awesome place, like you said, a place of extremes. LA has done their best to ruin it.

The transverse fault between the walker lane and the San andreas, it is part of a quadrangle

nice content new friend here sending support, hope to see you at my place stay connected Greetings of friendship

Back in the early 1970's living in Lone Pine, we would gig frogs on the Owen's River. Best and biggest frog legs ever! Now? It's a wasteland. Back in the 70's though, we knew that southern California was stealing our resources.
