De Rose Winery was the third stop of the day. The San Andreas runs throught hte middle of the property causing some interesting offsets on the property.
1 The nice folks at "California's Oldest WInery" have graciously let MJC geology students check out their fault over the years.
2 Laura straddles the San Andreas fault that bisects the winery. This section creeps at a rate of several cm per year with a right-lateral motion.
3 An offset drainage culvert. The right-lateral offset is quite evident in the photo.
4 Oooh, I'm bridging the San Andreas Fault!
5 Laura stands directly on the fault trace.
6 And what would a trip to the DeRose Winery be without checking-out the amazing structural damage that the creep is causing.
7 A few gratuitous shots of the beautiful grape leaves in their autumnal glory at DeRose Winery.
