Just a little socal history footnote: The Vasquez Rocks were named for the infamous bandido Tiburcio Vasquez who used the area for one of his hideouts. Fantastic site btw… I’ll be spending hours, nay Days exploring virtually. Keep up the great work!

In reply to Dvorah l. The photo was taken on Little Tujunga Canyon Road about 1 mile or less east of the Sand Canyon Road / Bear Divide Road intersection. There is a small turnout with an information kiosk there marking the location of the fault line.

Whew! It’s been a very long time since I’ve emailed you and when I linked to your revised page today, I began to worry – where was all the SCV stuff? I knew it couldn’t have been erased completely because I cruised through a couple pages at the Elsmere Canyon site a few weeks ago.

I’ve even been to the Ridge Route site sent me by my sister (I used to go up there when I worked at the Castaic Power Plant in the late ’80s – and the gates weren’t locked) and emailed the Forest ranger for you guys. I never did look to see who was running the site…

So, I finally read the whole revised page and figured it out. Thanks for keeping things going. Now that I’m trying to spend more time out and about in the local areas, it’s handy to have a quick reference.

Good luck on the Geo degree!
