Hey, I qualify as a Pinnacles fanatic.
Brad, you are The Pinnacles fanatic. As far as blood lost on granite, I am only going to be concerned if your loss is measured in pints. If I lived where you do I probably wouldn't get to Pinns more than twice a year. As it is Pinnacles is constantly enticing me with it's mystery, which you have lost yourself in for much of your life, over the years.
I am looking forward to this summer's exploring with JC and KC. Still amazed at the quality of rock discoveries at the Old Man and Crud and Mud over the last 17 months.
