New Madrid Fault Line
September 29, 2008
Tracing one of the most volatile faults in the US, the team followed the New Madrid Fault road 100 miles today through untouched little towns, abandoned mines, and ancient Native American settlements which were burrowed into the rocks thousands of years ago when thriving Choctaw Indians lived along the Mississippi flood plains. Most of the land appeared to be abandoned and not one car was seen in over 10 hours as they made their way north up the flood plains.
The New Madrid Fault Line is one of the most active fault lines in the United States.
