LATITUDE: 36.470750
LONGITUDE: -121.147278
ELEVATION: 1322 ft

Got an app for that?


You're such a great scientist. All of the information you gave was completely accurate. And all of it was useless too.

No, I don't have an app for that.

What the Great Scientist is saying is, that after a long summer hibernation , the moss is swelling in exuberance.

Hey thanks! I do important work!!

Gavin gave me the site link way back when (expert terminology taken from my treatise on geochronology) - so he can probably tell you where the station is.
I just figured with all that fancy mac stuff you have AND the fact that you painstakingly provide GPS in some of your fabulous guidebook descriptions - you might be able to make good use of the coordinates.

I do kinda look like that guy - especially the forehead :)

Yes, of course. But I was hoping he'd make himself useful and do it for me.

Had a great day out with clink, nelkins, Gavin, KC, Brad and Tricia.
I'll wait for Brad to share. He may even want to start a new topic :)

Fantastic. Would you be willing to let us in on the title and/or subject matter?

 Geoff Norris placed a bolt on a FA at Pinns after a quarter century hiatus.  Lazarus. Of course nothing changed as he asked JC and myself "how do I look?" as he settled into his drilling stance.

Does Geoff always smile that much? Or was he just really happy to be at Pinnacles?

 Munge, how did you know that we were calling you an x pinnacles climber(at least two connotations, Mud has two also but I believe you both only share one).
