Hi Little Miss Miserable. Glad to see you’re doing better.

Pincushion Peak you say. I have done some hunting in that area. It is some pretty rugged country. It is just a little ways north of Mono Hot Springs. Nice place to take a bath, but the food is a little pricey.

Did a quake search of your selected area and found an interesting sequence of quakes. All of the quakes below occurred in the area of Double Peak, which is a little ways northeast of Pincushion Peak. The quakes occurred in an area of less then 5 miles. Have no idea as to the significance of the quakes. They appear to have occurred over a 40 year period and then suddenly stopped. Based on the six quakes it does appear they have a 20 year or so cycle in which they occur.

I do have a problem with the quakes that occurred in 1962 and 1963. I have a little trouble with two quakes one year apart, but occurring at the exact same time although at a different location. Not impossible, but highly improbable. Take Care…Don in creepy town
