On September 13th 2007 we traveled to the Devil's Punchbowl near Pearblossom California. I spoke to Park Superintendent David Numer about the punchbowl formation and the San Andreas Fault and other faults.

David gave us a geology lesson about the San Andreas but he also talked about other faults in the area, including the Pinon Fault. East -- west faults like the San Andreas are called transverse faults. Another transverse fault, the Garlock Fault, extends from Gorman to the Nevada State line through the Tehachapi Mountains.

The Devil's Punchbowl offers a guided tour on Sundays to the San Andreas Fault. Tours start at 1 PM.
