5. 5.0 near Keene (Bakersfield)

Looks like the Parkfield one is shaking up some of the other faults.

19. More like going east.
The one the over day was near Paso Robles/Atascadero, so this was further east.

28. Mt St. Helens ...
... is starting to act up. Climbing and some trails have been closed due to the mountain threatening to re-erupt. Of course any geologist will tell you that it ain't related.

Another spot that's getting interesting is just northeast of Long Valley caldera near Mono Lake (California/Nevada). Drove past the spot this summer on a family RV trip.
