Adams, aka the Professor and "the notorious Dick Adams" featured in Fran Houston's For the Love of Peaks. Overnight Accommodations Enjoy the salt air, our natural ocean air conditioning, the rhythmic clapping of the rocks as waves retreat down the shore, the musical symphony of the horns when fog rolls in, and the scenic beauty of the rugged ocean shoreline just outside your bedroom window.
