Finishing up nearly 6 months here at Race Rocks. I have had an amazing time, especially being here for the winter snow storm, and the birth of 3 Elephant Seal pups! Visiting students, media students, colleagues and friends have broken up the long periods and only added to my enjoyment. I look forwards to returning next fall.
