Parkfield is a very tiny town in Monterey County, on a road that runs from State Highway 41/46 to US 101. It's the home of the V6 ranch, which makes the town and ranch property available for trail rides, weddings, and more. My own connection is a bluegrass festival that's been held every year since 1999. It's big claim to fame is as the Earthquake Capital of the west, being located right on the San Andreas fault. The US Geological Survey maintains a building full of measuring equipment there. Parkfield is located in a beautiful valley centered around cattle and hay ranching. Click here to read more and see more photos, and here to read about the quake of 2004.
