The fault trace is beneath the road in the foreground, runs along a narrow sag left of the road on the other side of the gulch, and continues along the hillside above the gray roof of the ranch building. The stream in Mill Gulch jogs to the right about 100 meters where it crosses the fault. That matches the expected movement along the fault since about 5000 years ago, when the gulch cut its present route to the sea through here and abandoned its former channel to the north.
About 200 meters behind me is where the fault enters the sea. A path leads from this pullout to the beach there, where the next three photos were taken.
I am standing where the notorious stagecoach robber Black Bart carried out his first heist on 3 August 1877. On the old coach road, this spot was known as Black Bart's Turn until it got a new name, Earthquake Turn. Today it has no name.
