Thanks for the story and info. I’ve driven past this fault so many times and wondered about the story behind it. Lake County has such a storied history. This Is another nugget of information that helps us understand our local history. Thank so much for these videos!
I'm one of those who always called it Guy's Fault. It's bigger now than when I was a kid in the 80s. Thanks for sharing!
I drive by it very often and I always wondered what it was, thank you for informing me
Thanks for posting. Still one of my favorite local stories.
Could you one on Lake County water & power company? Power plant on Kelsey Creek for Kelseyville prior to PG&E.

I will write this down as a reccomendation :)
I love your vids so much. Thank you for spreading all the cool info about our beautiful county
Yay, I have always wanted to know what this was. Great video
Thank you!
Good one
Very cool. I live In Kelseyville.
I like your videos
Would love to see some cool history stories on Cobb mountain xoxo
I'd like to hear more about the land that's contaminated with the mercury and how they go about cleaning it up. I read some where that the mercurys molecular structure changes when the fish ingest it
I live near the murcury mine and drive by it once in awhile... It is a fenced off area with plenty of notice to stay away in big red letter'! It look's like a pond or a small reservoir but the water/mercury is a turqois color... There is no wildlife near it! No duck's , No birds, Nothing lives near this mine... There is a road that has a view of it from up above and it look's like a beautiful pond but it is seriousely dangerouse! When I wanted to rent a house in this area it had a waiver to sign with a exemption from any liability of the owner of the house due to the potentially dangerous water supply that is so close to the mine... I would like to know how they would or could clean it up?
@@teresaspeakman5839 I am trying to find an article that explains alot but I cannot find it at this time I read some of the contaminated land was given to the native Americans. I guess the mercury is in the dirt and soil here's one link will find the other one. The other article explains how it's impossible to clean up no amount of money would help. www.usgs.gov/centers/ca-water/science/mercury-studies-sulphur-bank-mercury-mine-and-clear-lake-california?qt-science_center_objects=0#qt-science_center_objects
When it comes to this first we must understand the substance itself. Mercury is present worldwide. Mercury emissions generally disperse widely in the atmosphere before being deposited to the earth's surface. Mercury is emitted by natural sources, such as volcanoes, geothermal springs, geologic deposits, and the ocean. Humans also can cause the dispursement as well. Because we have the volcano and other geothermic systems we also have a natural presence of mercury. 95% of the mercury we find in fish is methylmercury which is where the molecular structure would be change but again its a natural occurrence. We find this mercury present in many fish we consume daily. That can of tuna? Just as harmful a large majority of fish that are present in the lake. If you watch my video about the fish in Clearlake at the end I talk about the mercury content that is issued by the health department for our area and show comparisons to help others understand. We use to have mercury mines that would extract the mercury from the land but they shut down many years ago. I hope this helps :)

Re Mercury: When I was a young boy my father and his best friend would hike up to 20 miles between Cloverdale and Lake County. Once There they would live of the land and mine Cinnabar. Then they would bring back all these boxes bags of rocks and put them in a smelter which would cook the mercury out of the rocks.
At this time we know there is no safe level however minute of mercury in the human body. One of the reasons they took it out of thermometers. And one of the reasons thermometers are also grab anymore. Lol.
Seems to be a lot of crack in Lake County
Great story. I’m so glad you came up on suggested videos.
I was just in Kelseyville a few days ago. I did not know about this construction. But, I ate at a place called the Saw Shop and it was very good.
I want to see some stuff on blue lakes and cow mountain 🏔️
Soooo many stories around blue lakes. I will probably need to do multiple parts for that one.
I would like to see where all the different communities in Lake County get their water. Thanks
Same
The riviera has the best water. It's trucked in
You know what would be awesome, a story series about the original family's of lake county. You know like the family's that have area s and places named after them. That would so cool to learn about
I agree with this. Or families that have been here a long time. My folks have talked about coming on here. My dad was the government trapper for 20 years and mom was animal control and forestry. Both even worked on the ranches around the area.
That's awesome do a video on your family history in lake county first. I would love to hear it. Plus it would be a little easier research for you all so.
My mother in law knows TONS about old families and Lake county history. She located virtually all the graves in county cemeteries. She's on the Upper Lake cemetery board, and when she goes through the cemeteries, she'll comment and give history on various families.
Did you know that over a century ago, there was so much wife swapping along Middle Creek that it's nickname was "Diddle Creek"?
You mean original white families? There’s not a lot of stuff named after the original families
But if you want info on those days read an American genocide: the United States and the California Indian catastrophe. Very informative and unbiased, kinda hard to take in though
Wow this was so cool to learn about, it answered so many questions I didn't even know I had
I’d like to know where your info came from. Sources please. 💞
Is that horrible smell coming off of Clear Lake ever going to be fixed?
Cool history.
I'm fairly new to Lake county but have had, previously as well as today, family members living here so I've been visiting on and off for 35+ years. I now live in Middletown and just stumbled onto this channel and I find it fascinating. Maybe someday you can explain why there are so many tremors around this area. Just a thought... Thank you and keep up the good work
The frequent tremors are caused by reinjection of water into steam wells on Cobb Mountain. The steam pressure started to go down in the 90's, and eventually they figured out that they could inject water into the steam field to replenish the pressure. Lake Co. Special Districts got on board, and a pipeline was constructed to pump treated waste water from the sewer plant up to the geysers. Then later, Sonoma County built one also. It's a win win, disposal of waste water for a useful cause, with the side effect of many (I've heard hundreds) of small tremors daily.
Another bit of trivia is that Thurston Lake, which the fault spills into I think was once called Little Borax Lake at one time. And Thurston also has an abundance of what is known as wet gas otherwise known as natural gas. At one time as I recall one of the pioneers, it may have been Mr. Jago was using this gas for lights and heat but that didn't last long as this variety of gas is a bit unstable and hard to regulate. Others who tried to do the same quit when homes, barns and chicken coops kept burning down.🥵. Recently, Mike Epidendio bought the property and has been filling the "crack" up little by little.
I was wondering who was filling it up. I heard it was epidendio doing it. Wasn't yo sure tho.
I always heard that Little Borax was the small lake down at the Buckingham Golf Course.
@@terrystewart2070
According to the prolific Lake Co. Historian Henry Mauldin it's Thurston Lake. I have heard other Lakes in the county called "Little Borax" too.
So Thurston Lake is a closed system with no outlet. And this guy wanted to build a tunnel to feed that lake? I mean in a really wet year that could cause flooding to the people on the East side of the lake? Now most of it is seeping into the water table.
There was actually TWO signs. One said Guy's fault and pointed in one direction- and the other one had a different person's name and pointed in the opposite direction. Wish we could remember then name of the other one.
Thanks for the video. I knew only a bit of this story before. Interesting history!
Interesting Story! I live nearby in Sonoma County and wasn’t aware of it. Thank you for sponsoring the story. If it had been sponsored I wouldn’t have known about it. The interesting thing is I often don’t read or watch sponsored UA-cam ads. But I watched yours. And I also subscribed to your channel. Good job.
Thank you so much
I've always wondered how the ditch got there. Thank you, very informative 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
I'm over the hill in Cloverdale. My cousins live in Kelsyville.... like your channel.. I've heard some crazy Paranormal Activity goes on around Mt Konocti.. Anyways keep up the good work. 👍👍🤘🤘
Ahaaa. A gorge🙄ous video.
Improving the “banking “ on hwy 29 will be a very good thing and make it more safe!
bery cool! I remember me and my two boys exploring Guy’s Fault in the early 90’s. We pulled over on the roadside opposite the fault and crawled thru the culvert to the other side and into the start of the fault,which was pretty shallow at the time. As we walked thru the fault, it got deeper and deeper....and at one point, we must’ve been 40 feet deep it seemed. Se turned around after seeing a strange mass of somethings moving around sbout 30 feet away. It looked like a huge mass of insects of some sort and we hightailed it outta there! That was our Guys Failt adventure. A friend of my older boy went there not much later and found a big spearhead. Always wanted to see that thing😀
Not long ago, I took my wife out there to show her where we crawled outta the culvert and into the fault.....and to my huge surprise....the fault entrance had eroded 10 feet below the culvert!!’
Crazy amount of erosion....
anyways...
thx for the history!, btw❤️
This is awesome! I love hearing stories like this! I've always wanted to explore it!
Hey lady thank you for existing at the same time we exist. Perhaps we could get a cam over the ditch to show the "progress" ?
I plan on taking my drone out there sometime when I get over my fear of flying it... When I do I will certainly post it on my media channels. There is a guy that does drone footage you may be able to find it if you look up "guys fault lake county ca"
@@CheyenneBlue awesome thanks
We bought a house just south of Rodman slough and my bank is in Lower Lake. We've wondered how it was formed. Thank you.
Thinking of doing one on rodman slough. That was my favorite place to fish as a kid :)
@@CheyenneBlue too much mercury in the crappie these days, shame.

@@CheyenneBlue unfortunately still too much mercury for me, damn shame.
Thanks for the link.
Are you on Facebook
Yep Cheyenne Blue is the business page Cheyenne Callaway is my personal page
Thanks interesting
Cool Channel.
Your style and delivery is almost identical to Mike’s from That Chapter UA-cam series. I was wondering if that was intentional or purely a coincidence.
I actually haven't heard of him I'm going to look it up now :)
Who is paying it.??
Federal, state and local financing per the articles.
Yummy
You already said that four days ago. Obsess much
How old is that wall behind you? Those bricks are irregular and one layer starts very narrow and ends up much thicker as it progresses.
I live much further South and wish I had more surface or ground water.
It's a backdrop 😂 Now everyone knows my secret.
@@CheyenneBlue 🧐😆👍
Man there's some real creeps in the comments foreal!
Yeah I know x.x I just ignore it.
I drove past this all the time!!!!!!! No one ever talks about my home town!!!
You're really pretty.
Yummy, & semi smart.
I'm a Civil Engineer that graduated from CLUH in 1958. I remember going past the head of the gulley that ended at highway 29 and wondering what caused it. After graduating from UC Davis, I went to work for the Corps of Engineers in Sacramento and then going to work for the US Forest Service. I retired from the FS in Atlanta GA. While living in Atlanta I got an MS from GA Tech in Geotechnical Engineering. While working for the FS I learned a lot about Fluvial Geomorphology and visited many erosion sited caused by channelization, which steepens the channel which increases the velocity of the flow which ,starts a headcut that works it's way upstream. About 20 years ago I was driving from the Sacramento airport to Lakeport to visit realities, I saw the so called fault and thought that's a headcut that the road stopped. An Engineer friend of mine with the FHWA told me that it's common for roads to stop a headcut, usually with a grade control structure just downstream of a culvert or bridge.
