[pct-l] Wrightwood Calif. maybe covered soon.

Well, to get a sense of the San Gabriel's tendency to be a bit, er, shifty,
and send mudslides down on unsuspecting (i.e. uninformed) humans, read the
Lost Angeles chapter in John McPhee's The Control of Nature.  Highly
entertaining and informing.

| Just saw a T.V. show about Wrightwood and a large mud slide in 1941. Looks
| like the area is very unstable these days and town maybe in for another
large
| slide soon. Surrounding Mt.s show sides of movement from Fault  and need
only a
| slight trigger to touch off another huge deadly slide. ( Don't move to
| Wrightwood!!)
