Back again! Yes indeed, I am back from my latest travels and home now for a few weeks. Our current project is located about 60 miles off the coast of Southern California, on one of the Channel Islands. This trip was a short two weeks, spent preparing our living quarters and getting the details worked out for our project to get underway. This island seems like five-star accommodations compared to others as we have a bunk house, kitchen and shop. The terrain reminds me of the southwest, with lots of exposed sandstone and a semi-arid environment. It makes for some great photo opportunities and some challenging hiking.
Once again I had some pretty good National Geographic moments, this time with Northern Elephant seals and California Sea Lions. What characters they are! I have added my latest pictures to the slide show, enjoy. Our work there will continue through the rest of the summer, so more pictures and stories to come!
Nice pictures! Is this place you were at accessible by the public or was it just you and the seals? Beautiful scenery! Let us know if you put up any more pics!
