After living in California for over a decade, I recently went to Pinnacles National Park for the first time. Without knowing what to expect, we set out one Saturday and drove down to the area. It was a rather longish drive but when we got there, all of a sudden we were thrust into the environment of a US National Park. It truly felt different, breathtaking and important. We had to drive into the park and find a spot to park, after which we set off on a hike through rocks and canyons and caves, to land up at a reservoir.
The caves, rock formations and scenery was truly special and unlike anything I had seen before. There were a lot of climbers also ascending the rock formations and hiking past us with all their gear. Inside the caves, we had to crouch and walk through some dark areas but we made it to the other side. It was a bit nerve racking with a rather unruly toddler in tow but we made it there and back. We had packed our lunch so we made a picnic of it. And on our way back, we stopped at a Trader Joe's to pick up some of our favorite ready to eat meals for dinner. A day well spent and quite memorable!
Playing in my head:
Leave them all behind - Ride
Into alien grounds
Pass through different times
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
We've got so far to go
Until we get there
Just let it flow
Just let it flow
Just let it flow
Just let it flow (Just let it flow)
Fading into night
Our grasp is broken
There's nothing we can do
I don't care about the light
I don't care about the truth
I don't care about the truth
