Palmdale Road Cut, Avenue S @ Highway 14, Palmdale, CA
San Andreas Fault. I stand high above the portion of the 14 Freeway which is a drive-through earthquake fault. This was the beginning of our trip which was to feature three of the best things California has to offer: (1) driving vacations; (2) a massive earthquake fault between the Pacific and North American plates which will one day destroy everything and (3) delicious tri-tip barbecue sandwiches (at the Rock Inn.)
This is part of the San Andreas Fault set, which is a work-in-progress. Click on "San Andreas Fault (set)" and from there, click on "Map" to see how photos lay out along the length of the fracture, which is the junction of the North American plate and the Pacific Plate.
