100630 Pinnacles National Monument


Jun 30, 2010 - I moved Pinnacles National Monument from the list of national entities I've yet to see, to the ones I've seen, today. Other than that, there isn't much to say about it. I'm glad it wasn't too far away, as it wasn't much to see. (I went to the west entrance, maybe the east entrance is more exciting.) I did see a thistle with red flowers instead of purple - I'd never seen that before[found out later it's called a Venus Thistle]. And I saw some trees with golden blossoms on them that were new to me. That was about it. Other than the drive over to Soledad to Pinnacles, I didn't do much. I appreciated having a "down" day, as my days were really activity-packed while Birdie was here.
