[pct-l] Does anyone know some SoCal geology?

Lynn,

Paul Hacker and I will be giving a talk on the general geology of the PCT at
the ADZPCTKO (www.pct77.org/adz).   Since we only will have a short time to
discuss 2,650 miles of terrain, we will be focusing primarily upon the
tectonic history and unusual or special features that you will see on a
thru-hike.

If you have specific questions, Paul and I would be glad to take a stab at
them in the mean time.  Both of us are SoCal geologists.

Best regards,

Greg Hummel
