As Oscar Wilde once said, “Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.”
Twenty-seven-year-old Michael John Paul Banks of Fresno, California, stretched his imagination past his intelligence on April 7 when he climbed up the 576-foot-tall Morro Rock to propose to his girlfriend.
Kinney ... was safely returned to land with just a few scratches and a misdemeanor for trespassing at around 9:30 a.m.
According to the Morro Bay City website, Morro Rock is a State Historic Landmark that was formed about 23 million years ago from the plugs of long-extinct volcanoes.
It served as an important navigational aid for mariners because the rock is approximately 600 feet tall, making it the most visible in a chain of nine Californian peaks.
