Pinnacles Prelude

The first day of our trip, a freak snowstorm hit just as we were packing to go.  Our camper slid down our steep driveway, even going off the road.  Our hearts in our throats, we decided to postpone our trip until the predicted warmth, scheduled for the afternoon.  This Pinnacles trip seemed cursed already as originally there were to be 4 groups, a total of 7 of us.  We reserved a group spot only to find out it was for tents only.  So we forfeited the reservations and 2 couples decided to go with no reservations.  Little did we know that it was the Spring Break for Bay Area and LA schools  We were happy to see inclement weather predicted, figuring that it would cut the crowds.  Luckily the other couple got out in time and made it to the campground well before us.  They had  chosen a lovely site that we could share.
