Cécile from the Salton Sea to Alcatraz (page 3 of 3)

Return via Castro, disappointed compared to my first visit 3 years ago

Thanks again for this travel journal and the hidden gems you’re sharing with us!

I’ve got two questions, please: 1) In Parkfield (or nearby), are there any spots where you can visually see the fault line? You can see it from aerial or satellite views, but I’ll be driving! 2) At Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco, are the statues you showed in your photos part of a temporary exhibit? I don’t see them on the website or in other travelers’ photos on TripAdvisor.

Thanks in advance, and congrats again. And… hope you’re recovering from the jet lag!

The San Andrea fault... it's a tiny crack! Not much to see anywhere... I've been to Iceland and the Thingvellir fault—nothing like it, 30m wide, 5m high. The statues? Didn’t really pay attention, to be honest.

Thanks. So I’ll skip the fissure. And I’ll keep Yerba Buena Gardens as an option depending on the time we have, but we probably won’t have enough...

Hello, And do you think using a drone could work for the fault?

No... didn't look it up online, you don't see much there.

On another topic (I’m replying here to avoid cluttering the other thread), you compared the two outlets in Las Vegas. Apart from the price difference you noticed, do you have any advice on which one to choose, please?

Logistically, the south is one huge shopping mall, covered with AC in the stores and hallways.

The north is a collection of stores opening to the outdoors; the stores are air-conditioned... but the outdoor areas aren’t.

We found what we were looking for in the north for Converse and Adidas

Awesome! Thanks

And the photo from the Pink Floyd album, *Wish You Were Here*

Quick practical question, please: How did you handle the tolls (including the BBG, if you took it)? Did you use the rental company’s pass? Avis charges me $7 per day (with a max of $35 for 30 days), but it’s just to pay for the GGB, which costs $10!...

Thanks in advance
