Steve -
We don't tend to notice them, but it's been very windy lately, so that noise tends to distract us from other occurrences.
That's a very active area in terms of quakes. Usually they're more in the 2.5 - 2.7 range. I guess I'd get nervous if they DIDN'T occur.
There's a big geothermal plant just south of Keeler, accessed by the road that goes east of the Chevron station at the Little Lake rest area. You can't get very far up the road, though. It's on Navy land, lots of Haliburton trucks around, etc. They continuously re-inject water into the ground to produce steam.
