Gerace Research Center

This is where we stayed!  The Gerace Research Center occupies a former United States Naval Base.  The base was built by the Navy as a tracking station for nuclear submarines during the Cold War. 

It has been used as a research station since the early 1970's.  This link shows  the facility.  There was a group of college students from Iowa here as well.  We visited at a time when there were not many others.  There can be up to 200 people using the facility.
