It looks like a postcard from the Wild West, but this pint-sized California cowboy town might be sitting on a ticking geological time bomb.   Welcome to Parkfield, a charming ranching community tucked away in Central California where the population is just 18, cattle outnumber residents and the ground beneath your boots is practically guaranteed to keep things interesting. The sleepy hamlet, nestled in Monterey County’s picturesque Cholame Valley, has earned the rather unsettling nickname, “Earthquake Capital of the World” thanks to its precarious position along the notorious San Andreas Fault.
