Good news. There are no entrance fees for Pinnacles (only east side?) Until they finish the new pay booth. The old one is gone.
Cut the day short to buy a new park pass and was told I cannot buy one until the end of November when the booth gets done.
I had not been to the East Side in over a year so there were some other new things. They built a wall in between the store and the visitor center. They must've got some of that government wall money or the info ranger does'nt get along with the concession people. My imagination runs wild with that one.
Also saw all kinds of new trail signs, bike racks, new spiffy water fountain (same yucky water) and new parking spaces along the road.
The rocks are all still there but the strong winds in the past year must've knocked over a lot of trees.
Other good news. The bees are not in the crack right now next to Cutting the Rug. Maybe they will come back when it gets cold? Hopefully not.
That's my Halloween Pinnacles Report.
