Well, we're all settled into our volunteer site, which, it turns out, is very nice.  It has a couple of trees for afternoon shade and is in a quiet part of the campground.  We did our volunteer training on Thursday, including a tour of Atalaya, the former winter home of Anna Hyatt Huntington and Archer Huntington.  Anna Hyatt Huntington was a world renowned sculptor who specialized in animal sculptures.  She was married to Archer M. Huntington, a very wealthy scholar, poet, philantropist and patron of the arts.  Atalaya was built in 1930 as a winter home where they could escape the harsher climate of the north east.  It's architecture is quite unique, styled after a Moorish castle.  The home is at Huntington Beach State Park and has been designated a national historic landmark.  Our duties as volunteers are to tend the admissions cart at Atalaya 3 days a week.  In exchange, we get a campsite with full hookups.  Not a bad deal, since Bill and I split the time and each only have to be there 3 half days.
