A small town in central California proudly claims to be the “Earthquake Capital of the World”. Parkfield sits right on the San Andreas fault where residents have become used to feeling the earth move.

As you drive into the Parkfield, you cross a one-lane bridge built over a dry creek bed. The San Andreas Fault runs right under this bridge and it’s here where two of the earths tectonic plates, the North American and Pacific Plate meet. At either end of the bridge there are signs posted letting you know which tectonic plate you’re driving on. The plates are moving - slowly bumping up against one another and the movement is visible on the bridge.
