Sleeping Surfer. I waited and waited for this guy to catch a wave, but finally decided he must have fallen asleep, lulled by the waves. I was sitting up near a World War II era bunker on the hillside above the beach. There's no blue like the Pacific blue, is there?

Just got back from two days of hiking up and down steps like these. 

Inside Rock House looking out. Rock Kauser (http://www.rskphotography.com/photoblog/%22%3ERock) has some awesome shots of Rock House, but I can't seem to locate them in his blog archives. If anyone has the link, would you send it? Thanks!
