Recommended Posts

Remind me. Is Lost Prairie going on right now?



Sort of. All the Canadians plus MadJohn should have been there last weekend. The Orange contingent, the Texans, and maybe a couple other people ought to be there by now too, but the cool kids (namedly me) don't arrive till tomorrow.

But in actuality, it has more earthquakes than most states.

Really...........I have owned property there and spent a lot of time there since 1993 and I have NEVER heard of one till now.



I went to a school that prides itself on being the best school for geophysics and "mineral engineering" (whatever that means), so I became a geology geek, even though I never wanted to be :S Quick link on Montana seismology:

When a mag8 hits NorCal, it's all over the news, but five of them have hit Montana since 1925, and no one cares - it's about how many people get killed, I guess.
