I did go over to the Colburn Earth Science Museum this afternoon and learned a little more about the geology of the ground under my feet. I see am in the narrow band of longarm quartzite that runs in a narrow vein all through the Blue Ridge. This area is a major fault zone where the North American and African continents collided 500 million years ago, pushing up the Blue Ridge as we know it today.........pretty cool. The ground beneath me is where the Blue Ridge Belt and the Inner Piedmont belt meet.
What I found really interesting is that those areas that instinctively "intrigue" me, through this odd feeling I get when passing through them, are all fault lines, seen by regional Landsat, near the Bat Cave, Chimney Rock area. Could this be due to magnetics in the earth? (I wonder?)
