Dann geht es auf H-25 gen S\u00fcden. Die Stra\u00dfe folgt dem San Andreas Graben und wechselt dabei mehrere Male die Kontinentalplatte. Der erste Wechsel ist auf H\u00f6he des<em> Willow Creek Cemetery<\/em>. Hier kreuzt die Stra\u00dfe einen kleinen Fluss. Ich kann mir gut Vorstellen, dass der Fluss im San Andres Graben liegt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ein paar Meilen sp\u00e4ter erreiche ich die Einfahrt zum National Park. die Warteschlange ist lang. Es k\u00f6nnte gut eine Stunde dauern, bis ich einen Parkplatz habe. Ich gebe schnell auf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Warum wollte ich hierher? Die Berge im <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pinnacles-Nationalpark\">Pinnacles National Park<\/a> sind vulkanischen Ursprungs und etwa 23 Millionen Jahre alt. Es ist aber nur die H\u00e4lfte des Vulkans.

Mein n\u00e4chstes Ziel ist Parkfield. Kurz unter dem Nationalpark verl\u00e4uft der H-25 fast genau auf der Verwerfung. Die Landschaft ist einmalig.\u00a0 Verkehr ist kaum vorhanden, so kann ich immer wieder anhalten und Fotos machen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">H25 endet am H198, aber der Weg nach Parkfiled Junction ist gesperrt. Rechts geht es nach San Lucas, zur\u00fcck zum H101; ein 30 km Umweg. Keine Ahnung ob Peach Tree Road eine bessere Wahl ist. Ich probiere es einfach. Ich hoffe, dass es irgendwo einen Abzweiger gibt, den google nicht anzeigt und der keine Privatstra\u00dfe ist. Bis dahin genie\u00dfe ich die Landschaft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Es gibt keinen Abzweiger. Ich muss runter bis kurz vor H-101 auf H\u00f6he San Miguel. Hier kann ich von der Indian Valley Rd auf die Vineyard Canyon Rd abzweigen, die mich zur\u00fcck nach Parkfield bringt. Es geht steil bergauf von 760 ft rauf auf 2400 ft (500 H\u00f6henmeter). Ich bin jetzt 730 m \u00fc.N.N. Oben angekommen geht es rechts ab, direkt nach Parkfield.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Die Stra\u00dfe liegt f\u00fcr einige Kilometer fast genau auf der Verwerfung. Und ich kenne diese Stra\u00dfe. WinterOwl und ich haben sie damals auf dem Weg nach LA benutzt, als wir den Stau umfahren haben. Irgendwann verl\u00e4sst die Stra\u00dfe den Graben und biegt nach S\u00fcden ab. Danach geht es auf H-58 zwischen riesigen Solaranlagen hindurch nach Simmler. Hier ist nichts los. Aber die Stra\u00dfe folgt mit rechtwinkeligen Kurven ein unsichtbaren Schachbrett (man kann es auf google maps erkennen). Die Region ist komplett flach. Ich bin auf der pazifischen Kontinentalplatte. Am Horizont sehe ich die Berge, die durch die Kollision mit der nordamerikanischen Platte aufgeschoben hat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Wallace Creek &#8212;<\/strong> Kurz bevor die Stra\u00dfe in diese Berge f\u00fchrt zweige ich zum Wallace Creek Interpretive Trail ab Er liegt in der Carrizo Plain nahe Soda Lake. Der Parkplatz ist etwa 200m vom Ende er pazifischen Platte entfernt. Die Steigung die ich sehe ist bereits auf der nordamerikanischen Platte. Ich wei\u00df nicht, wie ihr das seht, aber ich finde die Idee cool. Ich befinde mich auf einer anderen Kontinentalplatte als der Aussichtspunkt, zu dem ich jetzt wandere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ich bin wegen eines Flusslaufes hier, der von einer Platte auf die andere flie\u00dft.

Ich habe das in google Maps von oben gesehen. Aber es etwas v\u00f6llig anderes, es live zu sehne. Das ist Plattentektonik eindrucksvoll visualisiert.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Und rein statistisch bewegt sich auf mein Auto gerade mit 6 cm pro Jahr an mein Standpunkt vorbei gen Norden.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Ich will es mindestens bis zum Tejon Pass schaffen. Mit f\u00fcr die Stra\u00dfenverh\u00e4ltnis hoher Geschwindigkeit (30-40 km\/h) folge ich der Elkhorn Rd die parallel zu Verwerfung (etwa 1 km entfernt auf der nordamerikanischen Platte) folgt. Links von mir sind Berge. Sie sehen faltig aus, wie ein Teppich, den man zusammengeschoben hat. Das Navi sagt, dass ich eine Stunde bis zum <em>Elkorn Scenic Overview<\/em> brauche. Mal sehen, ob ich die Zeit unterbieten kann, und wenn ja um wie viel. Jedes Mal, wenn ich glaube, etwas schneller fahren zu k\u00f6nnen, sehe ich riesige Schlagl\u00f6cher. Wenn ich eines davon \u00fcbersehe kann ich ernsthaft die Radaufh\u00e4ngung oder die Felge zerlegen. Und ich habe keine Ahnung wie ich AAA (die US-Version des ADAC) beibringen kann, wo ich bin. Mobilfunknetz ist auch Null. Endlich bin ich an der Elkhorn Grade Rd. Zeit sieht gut aus.

Ich schaue hinunter ins Central Valley. Jetzt geht es durch die Bergkette auf der nordamerikanischen Seite der Verwerfung und hinunter ins Central Valley. Der Lookout lag auf 2.400 ft. Maricopa, der Ort am Fu\u00df der Berge liegt auf 800 ft. Es geht also knapp 500 H\u00f6henmeter bergab. Unten angekommen sind die Berge hinter mir und vor mir ist alles flach. Und der H-166 ist geht stur geradeaus. 35 km ohne eine einzige Kurve, nicht einmal eine Bodenwelle. Nach den hochkonzentrierten 90 Minuten, die hinter mir liegen, kann ich etwas Langeweile gebrauchen.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Rechts die Berge der zusammengeschobenen nordamerikanschen Platte. Der San-Andreas-Graben macht hier einen Schwenk, sodass die Platte nicht gut aneinander vorbeigleiten, sondern auch zusammengschoben werden, wodurch sich die Berge aufget\u00fcrmt haben, die Los Angeles von Central Valley trennen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Auf der I-5 angekommen wird die Zeit nun wirklich knapp. Bald ist D\u00e4mmerung. Ich fahre Richtung LA. Und es geht bergauf. Der Tejon Pass liegt auf 4200 ft (1280 m \u00fcber N.N.). Die Berge selbst kratzen an der 4800er-Marke.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tenjon-Pass &#8212;<\/strong> Das ist dann meine letzte Station. Die D\u00e4mmerung setzt ein. Einen Abstecher zum Frasier Park schaffe ich nicht mehr. Aber der Tenjon-Pass ist ein guter, kr\u00f6nender Abschluss. Wenn man die I-5 verl\u00e4sst und auf die Ralphs Ranch Rd wechselt, kann man direkt am Tejon Pass anhalten und sich anschauen, wie zwei Kontinentalplatten aufeinander liegen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kein Witz. Hier kann man wirklich sehen, wie sich die Pazifikplatte auf die nordamerikanische Platte geschoben hat. Das Gestein der geologisch \u00e4lteren Pazifikplatte ist gr\u00e4ulich und liegt auf dem ockerfarbenen Gestein der nordamerikansichen Platte, die geologisch j\u00fcnger ist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Von hier zum Neenach-Vulkan sind es etwa 35 km. Wie weiter oben erw\u00e4hnt ist dies der fehlende Teil vom Pinnacle-Vulkan, der etwa 320 km entfernt ist.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

Then I head south on H-25. The road follows the San Andreas Fault and changes the continental shelf several times. The first change is at Willow Creek Cemetery. Here the road crosses a small river. I can well imagine that the river lies in the San Andreas Fault.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A few miles later I reach the entrance to the National Park. The queue is long. It could take an hour to find a parking space. I quickly give up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why did I want to come here? The mountains in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pinnacles_National_Park\">Pinnacles National Park<\/a> are of volcanic origin and are around 23 million years old. But it&#8217;s only half of the volcano. The other half is still near Los Angeles; the Neenach Volcano.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Off to Parkfield &#8212;<\/strong> Continuing on H-25, my next destination is Parkfield. Just below the national park, H-25 runs almost exactly on the fault line. The landscape is unique. There is hardly any traffic, so I can always stop and take photos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">H-25 ends at H-198, but the road to Parkfiled Junction is closed. Turn right to San Lucas, back to H-101; a 30 km detour. No idea whether Peach Tree Road is a better choice. I&#8217;ll just give it a try. I hope there&#8217;s a turnoff somewhere that google doesn&#8217;t show and that isn&#8217;t a private road. Until then, I enjoy the scenery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no turn-off. I have to go down to just before H-101 at San Miguel. Here I can turn off Indian Valley Rd onto Vineyard Canyon Rd, which takes me back to Parkfield. The road climbs steeply from 760 ft up to 2400 ft (500 vertical meters). I am now 730 m above sea level. At the top I turn right, directly to Parkfield.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

This place has a bridge directly over the San Andreas Fault.

Switch from one tectonic plate of the earth&#8217;s crust to the other. Stand in the middle. Then I walk briefly down to the river. Yes, my feet will get wet, but I have to try: Stand on two tectonic plates at the same time. Maybe I&#8217;ve done it before.

Halfway there is another closure. This time I ignore the warning. The road is flooded by Cholame Creek. But it doesn&#8217;t look deep. I take the risk. I don&#8217;t go back now and lose almost 2 hours. The highway is only 3 km away. Two rules: Don&#8217;t get any water in the air filter (so don&#8217;t go too fast so that a bow wave floods the engine compartment) and rev enough so that the exhaust doesn&#8217;t fill up with water.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When I reach the highway, I&#8217;m only a few meters away from James Dean Junction, the intersection where the actor had a fatal accident in his Porsche.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

The road is almost exactly on the fault for a few miles. And I know this road. WinterOwl and I used it on the way to LA back when we were avoiding the traffic jam. At some point, the road leaves the ditch and turns south. Then it goes on H-58 between huge solar plants to Simmler. There is nothing going on here. But the road follows an invisible checkerboard with right-angled bends (you can see it on google maps). The region is completely flat. I am on the Pacific continental plate. On the horizon I can see the mountains that have been pushed up by the collision with the North American plate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Wallace Creek &#8212;<\/strong> Just before the road enters these mountains, I turn off to the Wallace Creek Interpretive Trail, located in the Carrizo Plain near Soda Lake. The parking lot is about 200 m from the end of the Pacific Plate. The incline I see is already on the North American Platte. I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but I think it&#8217;s a cool idea. I&#8217;m on a different continental plate than the viewpoint I&#8217;m hiking to now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;m here because of a river course that flows from one plate to the other.

In the 1906 earthquake that leveled San Francisco, the Pacific plate jumped more than 5.5 m within seconds'><sup>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span>. This caused the river to bend to the right directly on the fault, only to bend to the left about 20 meters later to follow the shifted course of the river. I saw this in google maps from above. But it&#8217;s something completely different to see it live. This is plate tectonics impressively visualized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And in purely statistical terms, my car is moving north past my point of view at a rate of 6 cm per year.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

I want to make it at least as far as Tejon Pass. At a high speed for the road conditions (30-40 km\/h) I follow the Elkhorn Rd which runs parallel to the fault (about 1 km away on the North American plate). There are mountains to my left. They look wrinkled, like a carpet that has been pushed together. The GPS says it will take me an hour to reach the Elkorn Scenic Overview. Let&#8217;s see if I can beat that time, and if so, by how much. Every time I think I can drive a little faster, I see huge potholes. If I miss one of them, I could seriously break the suspension or the rim. And I have no idea how to tell AAA (the US version of ADAC) where I am. Cell service is also zero. I&#8217;m finally at Elkhorn Grade Rd. Time looks good. The car is still in one piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Off to Interstate 5 &#8212;<\/strong> Arriving at the lookout, the view is a bit &#8230; Let&#8217;s say I was expecting more. I look down into the Central Valley. Now it goes through the mountain range on the North American side of the fault and down into the Central Valley. The lookout was at 2,400 ft. Maricopa, the town at the foot of the mountains, is at 800 ft. So it&#8217;s almost 500 meters downhill. At the bottom, the mountains are behind me and everything in front of me is flat. And the H-166 is stubbornly straight ahead. 35 km without a single bend, not even a bump. After the highly concentrated 90 minutes that lie behind me, I could do with some boredom.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

On the right, the mountains of the collapsed North American plate. The San Andreas Fault makes a turn here, so that the plates are not just sliding past each other, but are also being pushed together, causing the mountains that separate Los Angeles from the Central Valley to pile up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once on the I-5, time is really running out. It will soon be dusk. I drive towards LA. And it&#8217;s uphill. The Tejon Pass lies at 4200 ft (1280 m above sea level). The mountains themselves are scratching at the 4800 m mark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tenjon Pass &#8212;<\/strong> This is my last stop. Dusk is setting in. I don&#8217;t manage a detour to Frasier Park. But Tenjon Pass is a good, crowning finale. If you leave I-5 and change to Ralphs Ranch Rd, you can stop right at Tejon Pass and see how two continental plates lie on top of each other.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No joke. Here you can really see how the Pacific plate has pushed onto the North American plate. The rock of the geologically older Pacific plate is greyish and lies on the ochre-colored rock of the North American plate, which is geologically younger.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is about 35 km from here to the Neenach volcano. As mentioned above, this is the missing part of the Pinnacle volcano, which is about 320 km away.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.seidenpriester.de\\\/?p=27814&quot;}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"810\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 805px;

The sat nav says 400 km. I briefly consider whether I should grab a motel. Damn. I can&#8217;t. Today is Sunday. after a refueling stop. And I haven&#8217;t eaten anything today either. I grab a couple of burgers at Wendy&#8217;s. For some reason the burger patties are square. Strengthened and equipped with Dr. Pepper, I set off on my journey home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First 73 miles (1 hour) on the I-5 past Bakersfield to Lost Hill and then 64 miles (1 hour) on the H-46 to El Paso de Robles. I&#8217;m starting to get tired. Now comes the 90 miles (1.5 hours) on H-101. All these distances sound so short. But with the 60 miles in 60 minutes approach, it&#8217;s easy to do the math. And suddenly 90 miles feels like a long time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally I reach the junction in Salinas. Now it&#8217;s like Hamburg-L\u00fcbeck. Home stretch. Final spurt. I have made it. I&#8217;m home. What a day. The landscape was so different. The weather was brilliant. Pure sunshine. And I don&#8217;t think you can expect much more from the San Andreas Fault.
