Martinsborough


So, from Martinsborough (where we arrived on St Patrick's day), we had to see The Pinnacles. Which is where they filmed The Dimholt Road where Aragorn rides to meet The Army of the Dead, (Another LOTR reference). The scenery was beautiful both going to The Pinnacles, and continuing on to Wellington.The road into Wellington was crazy to say the least. It climbed via multiple, hairpin turns and switchbacks to climb the mountain and then back down again (please stay sober when attempting this feat)
I'll include pictures of Wellington over the next few days.


Small church for about 15 people I'd guess
On the road to Cape Palliser


Some fossils

In the valley

Going to summon the army of the dead, but will he come out? 

Of Course

Another look
