Sunday, we all wanted to get outside and get some fresh air!
We gathered up the family and headed out on a 1.5 hour road trip to Point Reyes.
What a good lookin’ bunch, yes?
The drive up north was great, so much to look at. This is San Quentin prison! Yikes!
We finally got up to our destination!
Welcome to Earthquake Trail!
This was a half mile educational loop filled with all kinds of info about how Earthquakes work. (All of us nerds loved it!)
EJ proclaimed: “Take a picture of this sign and we can read it later”. lol
The hike itself was more of a stroll, but it was nice.
And then we found this!
Those blue posts mark the San Andreas fault!
All I kept thinking of was Land of the Lost when they fall into the earthquake crack. LOL
The best part was seeing this fence. This was once connected, but in the early 1900s, the plates moved 12 feet in less than a minute!
Here is all four of us demonstrating how far apart the plates moved!
After our geography lesson, we headed over to a history lesson!
They have an old Indian Village that has been restored to it’s original form.
This used to be how they lived!
And they had Teepees too!
Then we went inside the “Sweat Room” (not quite sure what that was for. lol)
EJ running out of the Sweat Room. HAHA
Then for some reason, I decided to jog back to the car.
It was a fun way to spend the day.
So much of this great state to explore still.
Wow, I never realized the San Andreas Fault was something you could actually walk on. I always pictured it to be either A. just a geographical term that isn’t really physically on the ground (kind of like the actual state lines you see on a map — I was sad when I grew up and realized the states really don’t look like a map from up above, names and all) or B. so gigantic it was like the Grand Canyon.
That was very cool!
