Lighthouses Climbed, Part 1 Lighthouses Climbed, Part 2 Originally posted by Lorie Roe:
John's posting of the lighthouse stairs got me to thinking of starting a list of lighthouses climbed. I'm sure there are some lights that quite a few of us have climbed and others that have been open for special occasions that not many people have climbed.
Start posting any lighthouses that you have [b]personally climbed. Only one post per day. It doesn't matter from which state the lighthouse is located. This list might give us ideas of lights to visit that we can also climb. [/b]

That makes things a lot easier, Lorie! Thanks.
The Pixie and I climbed Sapelo GA as far as folks are allowed to.

Dave...can't I go in to my post and edit the list for adding more lights to each state? I tried to add Sapelo and it posted only administrators or moderators were allowed to edit posts.
That's because it's not your post, it's mine. I quoted your post. . . Dave

Lorie-
Being CD of this forum, I can also edit posts. I edited Dave's post to add the new lights, along with a timestamp.
To keep this thread from having 5 long lists, I think the best way to go about editing the list is for the person who started the part to paste the latest edition of the list into the beginning of the new part, update it if neccessary, and make that the first post of the new thread. Then, every 10 lights or so, either me or one of the Saints should update that list. Easy to find, easy to update, easy to keep current. Also, if you update the list, make sure to post saying that you did, so that people know where the lights not on the list begin.

Mike, we've already got Currituck. You're more than welcome to post another light, though!
I have updated the list with the latest ten lights. Check there and any posts after this to see if your light has already been posted.
As for me...I'm gonna say Barengat, NJ. Many times!

Hudson-Athens, NY.
This lighthouse is open several times during the season for tours. I was last there with Jakers in October, 03. We arrived early at the launch site and were the first two taken out to the lighthouse as it was opened up. We were then left there on our own until the first group of "official" visitors were brought out. Neat to have our own lighthouse for 20 minutes or so!

Re: Lighthouses Climbed, Part 3 - 01/25/05 10:15 PM
Stratford Point, CT back in 1999
I happened to luck into this...back in 1999, I was driving around/killing time with my wife. She knew I "thing" for lighthouses so she suggested that we drive down to the lighthouse. We drive down, parked, and started to walk around. The couple that lived there at the time were out doing yardwork, etc. when the man saw us and walked over to say hello. He then asked if "we wanted to go up". Needless to say, we jumped at the chance.

Re: Lighthouses Climbed, Part 3 - 01/25/05 10:55 PM
Okay, Lorie.
Cape May, NJ. Solved that problem.
We have one more challenge light left, but it's my boycott light, so someone else will have to post it.
I've updated the list again...refer to that and any posts after this before posting your light.

Re: Lighthouses Climbed, Part 3 - 01/25/05 11:01 PM
That was some good timing, Jeff! I'm guessing your wife added that to the "now you owe me big time" column?

Re: Lighthouses Climbed, Part 3 - 01/25/05 11:54 PM
Tell me about it, Dave. And, for the record, there have been alot of those "now you owe me big time" situations relating to my pursuit of lighthouses.
I only wish that I had my camera that day... :rolleyes:
