San Andreas Fault Tour near Wrightwood

After experiencing the '71 Sylmar earthquake, the '89 Whittier quake, and the '94 Northridge quake, I really appreciate your excellent presentation here, so much so, that I found it "faultless".

My Chaffey College geology class in 1957 went up Lone Pine Road and we stood somewhere in that gouge gorge. None of us had cameras but the picture of us there as remained engraved in my mind ever since. Thank you for taking me back in time.

Many years ago, My friend Linda and I went to Jackson lake with our kids for some snow play. A young lady went down the hill on an innertube and broke through the ice near the edge of the lake. She was in the water for over 5 minutes until we got her out. Some guys helped us to get her in my car where we warmed her up. They took her up the road a little ways to a forest service station. She suffered from hypothermia but she lived!

I lived in the area 15years. Have driven this route many times. Been to all the lakes never knew any of the details I have just learned. Thank you soo much !

My family is from this area. I remember seeing all this stuff as a kid. Kind of bizarre to see someone give a tour of what is kind of like your back yard.

My grand daughter is studying the San Andreas fault in school, so today I will be taking her on a tour using this video for reference along the way

This is truly one of the best videos about the San Andreas Fault! Well done, and much gratitude and appreciation. Really enjoyed this. Thank you very much. I have lived I’m both sides of the fault. My childhood on the west side. My adult life on the east side. About 15 miles away! Very enjoyable

Fascinating. I used to drive through this area and never knew what I was looking at.

Very informative. Iin the 1970s, I worked at the JPL test facility at Table Mountain above Big Pine. We commuted up from San Bernardino and saw many of the fault features, including driving up Lone Pine Canyon. You added much insight into the places we saw. Thanks

Beautifully done! And appreciated the classical background music! Also, the speaker had a clear, friendly, enthusiastic way of presenting his subject! Thank you!

When I was pregnant, my ex and I took a mini road trip and inadvertently hit a lot of these spots. The Appletree campground has a nice spot that's secluded just across the road. All of the "lakes" we visited briefly because we were looking for swimming/fishing spots were sag ponds you mentioned. Had I known I was traveling right on the San Andreas fault, I would have appreciated it more. Near where the ranches are, we had to come to a stop because a lot of baby goats were crossing the street 😂 And we were able to take video too.

I remember exploring the San Andreas Fault in this area with a Geology class in college -- fascinating.

SC here, with fault line and Charleston earthquake history. Have read about San Andreas over the years but this video is Killer! I feel like I was just on vacation after viewing. Thank you for the time spent creating this. I'd come out tomorrow if it wasn't on the other side of the continent. Peace to all!

I lived in this exact area for approx 30 years. Thank you for this super informative video. Now I know what sag ponds and blue cuts are. 😊

I went camping with friends near Point Reyes, Ca. Next morning I told them we had camped directly on top of the segment of the San Andreas fault that slipped horizontally 16 feet in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.

Well done video. I have lived in this very area sense 1973 and have personal been to all these locations (on the road) and now I can check some of the fault lines up close thanks to your video.

I live in Palm Springs, CA. While watching this video, I can glance out my window and see where the San Andreas passes by..just a few miles North.

Grew up in the los Angeles, Riverside/San Bernardino area, while in high school, my friends and I went many times to Wrightwood, and the surrounding area to see the spectacular views. Thanks for sharing. It's been 50 years since I graduated from high school and this bring many fond memories.

near Palm Springs, it comes out of the Salton Sea and into the Coachella Valley into Desert hot springs, comes up through the city at a angle across through buildings , neighborhoods and across the Mission Lakes Country Club just under the Country Club and out through another development and then onto San Bernardino . I was looking at homes in Desert Hot Springs and discovered if the house wasn't on it it was next to it

I was born in 1953 I lived in Ontario California, but I was born in Upland, but I was raised in Southern California. I know exactly where all of these places are. I’ve been to every one of them living here for almost 75% of my whole life. I was in a Selmore quake in 1971 also Hector mine quake in 1998 I believe, I lived in Louisiana with my wife for seven years five years in Texas and she passed away and I moved back out here with my dad. I druther deal with earthquakes and hurricanes and tornadoes or severe hail storms that tear of the hell out of everything I’m glad I am back here where the weather is warm, and the winters are mild, I think I can tolerate the earthquakes until maybe the big one hits but when it does I may not even be alive after all I am almost 70 I heard people say that this big one will not occur for maybe another 30 years but when it does, it’s going to be hell to pay and sometimes I stop him, saying the word if this happens as a little word with a big meanie thanks for the video have a great day you have educated me very well👍🏼😀
