A few more photos

On the way to work over the weekend I caught the registration for the McMurdo Cyclocross race/event. The Cyclocross is basically a short bike race around the base, its more fun than competition, and costumes are encouraged. I don't know how they managed to round up enough bikes (I had previously only ever seen 2 bikes), but it appearts McMurdo has a stash of ~20 silver Giant hardtail mountain bikes. I'm going to see if I can use one to get to work, I think it would be faster than the Terra Bus! On a random note, a few seasons ago, the road to Willy Field go so bad that even the Delta's were having touble, and so for the last 3 days the teams had to be lifted by helicopter to work. Now that is a cool (and $$) commute!

The SBI project moves along well! We tested all of our colar panels, the only components we cannot replace, and have 100% success! I grabbed a few shots of the LBD guys moving the telescope & gondola back into our hangar.

Heading home it was finally clear enough to see the mountains again, so I shot a few photos to remind myself when if gets cloudy & foggy again.
