California/ Gorman
I just figured out that the San Andreas fault goes right through Gorman, and the I5 crosses the fault line 3 times in just a few miles.
As a science teacher, this is an opportunity I can't pass up! Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding exact locations where you can actually see the two rock types (Pacific plate rock and North American rock). I've seen a few pictures of this, but I need a better pinpoint location of such a site. When pulling a trailer, I can't just go anywhere, and I don't know if we will have the time to camp a couple of nights to spend a day looking.
I know most of the faultline will be covered with infrastructure or vegetation, especially since that area of the fault hasn't slipped for a very long time. But, I'm hoping.
