Triathlon-geology colleague from exploring mines with thigh-deep water came through big time to make amends with presenting an opportunity to fly in a Cessna 172 over the legendary and iconic view point of the
San Andreas Fault in the
Carrizo Plain. I jumped right on that bandwagon, and took my Brewmate with me.
Saddling up and getting ready to go!
Ugh. This is the nasty haze over where I live - can you see traces of "civilization" below? Look hard, it's there... Gross.
Meanwhile, above the hideous haze, there was an amazing cloud cascade "flowing" through a gap in the
Western Transverse Ranges.
Soda Lake in the Carrizo Plain was looking much more lake-like than I usually see it, so I suppose the clouds must have left behind a deposit recently.
Finally, the pièce de résistance, the big one itself, the San Andreas Fault. Its line is straight, crisp and true and literally goes on for miles. Oh how amazing it is to see it from the sky!!!
