After the breakneck pace of WoGE numbers 26, 27, and 28 I wanted to find a more remote spot to see if I couldn’t slow things down a bit.

Gorgeous pictures though. *sigh* Geeeez, I get all caught up in three days of exploration meetings (I guess they expect me to pick some drillin’ spots or somethin’) and the crack pipe goes right past.

It's hard to tell if that's a fault scarp, or just a bit of outcropping resistant bedrock. Whatever it is, it has a friend on the right part of the picture, and possibly something at the bottom... Yay Brian!

(Really more of a bajada than any discrete alluvial fan, though, to be technical about it - okay, maybe I'm just a sore loser.) In any case, it look's like WoGE is headed home... Well done, Brian.

That must be a fault scarp cutting across the fan on the left part of the image. Yes!

The lat-long is in the coordinates of your screenshot....ooops. These are structures in the La Popa basin near Monterey, Mexico. If I remember correctly, much of the patterns here are salt diapirism and related features.

It's more like talc when you forget to crop the latitude and longitude. Wanna try again, Yami? (Maybe you were still trippin' on the traps.) ;-) D’oh!!!
