Oakland Geology

Mountain View Cemetery has been clearing its upper reaches aggressively this year—so much so that a new knocker came into my ken the other week. This view is looking down at it from the brow of the maintenance area, sheltered by a clump of trees.

It appears to be the usual sandstone, although I didn’t inspect it closely. There is a good deal of poison oak around it, as there is near its neighbor, the “high knocker“:

Knocker 10 overlooks the new Golden Lotus Mountain section.

If you haven’t been up to the top of the cemetery lately, the view east is phenomenal with the eucalyptus trees gone.
