Where is this?

Has anyone been here before?

Someplace on Pugent Sound??????

"eyes"

At an ocean - either Pacific or Atlantic. :-)

No, the lighthouse should give it away.

At one of the Great Lakes, probably Erie?

I am amazed at the number of lighthouses on the Great Lakes. Thanks for getting started on this. I have given up finding it, tho. Maybe it's just a fake lighthouse for a subdivision?

Check out this great Great Lakes Lighthouse website:

Looks like the Outer Banks to me (NC).

Here it is, you rascal! http://www.nc-outerbanks.com/bodie.html

I've never been there - after my research, now I want to go there!

Ya beat me GL...............Cape Hatteras! Hope to see it next year.


"eyes"

I was right!? Me? No way!!!....YES way!!!...
Do I get a prize? I'll share it with GrannyLois!!!

This the one they moved the other year when I was there to get it away from the erosion???

Also the houses, to me are unique to the area. I haven't seen anything like them before.

Well, I know who to ask if I need help finding lighthouses ... shoe and eyes, the lighthouse experts. In my search, I sure found out that there are dozens and dozens of lighthouses on the shores of our country. Having grown up in the midwest and now living in landlocked Tennessee, I'm just amazed!

Yes Granny Lois, lighthouses are grand tradition. Most are not useful anymore. Many in decay, needing financial assistance to save them. This country can give billions of dollars away each year with no thought of return, but will not spend a penny on lighthouses. I hope someone will write to say I am wrong on this one. And that the lighthouses are being helped by the government now.

Golddog my DH and I travelled the Erie Barge Canal and the Inner Coastal waterway, to Florida and back. We also did Deleware Bay and Chesapeake Bay lots of neat light houses to see, in the water as well as on land. Hudson River has some good ones to.

flowerpot, the Inner Coastal sounds great. I lived in Florida some years ago, always near to the Inner Coastal. Always wanted to make the trip north. Once lived above a boathouse on the Jupiter Inlet. At night the lights from boats traveling south would shine on the windows. I guess they were pretty much 24 hour travelers.

There used to be boats taking passengers north and south. All I remember is how fast they would SPEED along, and how loud their horns were as they blew them before every draw bridge.

Oh Golddog I know about the go fast boats, we didn't care much for them either they are always in a hurry and rock the heck out of us slower boats. Not all of them did it just enough to make a person a bit nervous. Anyway the trip is wonderful and you meet so many nice people that would give you the shirt off their back. The scenery is awesome especially in the fall going through the state of New York.
We started the ICW at Norfolk after coming down the Erie Barge Canal, Hudson River, out into the Atlantic Ocean to Manasquan NJ, Atlantic City, Cape May to the Deleware Bay and Chesapeake Bay our boat dosen't fair well out in the ocean unless it's a good calm day. We didn't find we had to use our horn to much for the bridges as the bridge tender usually can be reached by UHF radio. You were on the Ocean side there's lots of sport fishing BOATS on that side and they're very fast. Once we got to the St. Lucie River we cut across Lake Ocheechobee to Fort Myers Beach. Did you boat at all while you were living in Florida?

flowerpot,your trip has to be one of your most memorial! Yes, the people along the way are good people. Boating for us was weekends on friends boats. Waterskiing on the Inner Coastal, fishing just off shore, and such.

Thanks much for the insite! Makes one want to go back, for the water anyhow.

It is definately NOT Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. The stripes on Cape Hatteras go up diagonally. It WAS moved last year, about 1000 feet inland. As a historic preservationist, I held my breath when that thing first moved. It had computers attached to make sure it stayed level, and the computers mal-functioned, showing a reading that it was tilting. There were a few anxious moments. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse has a big crack in it caused by the earthquake that hit Charleston in the 1800s. Hard to believe it could have affected something so far away........

I'ts the Bodie Island Light Station - that's what my link was to - at the Outer Banks, in North Carolina. Here it is again: http://www.nc-outerbanks.com/bodie.html

Yes Granny, good call! The stretch from Nags Head south seems at times so lonely and primative (in a good way). With the new highway coming into Manteo, and a hospital opening, I don't see any way for the new population growth to go south to Hatteras Island. North is Duck and beyond with that 'little' 2-lane road. I have never been there in the summer, but my cousin's boy is a bank manager in Southern Shores, lives in Manteo. It takes him 1 hour to get home at night. I go for 2 weeks in October when no one is there, dogs are allowed on the beach, and the traffic is non-existent.

I saw your link, GrannyLois, thanks a lot. I only mentioned that it wasn't Hatteras because Eyes seemed to think so. Perhaps I misunderstood.......
