Fort Niagara - 07/26/04 05:28 AM
Stan & I just returned from a trip along the St. Lawrence Seaway, starting from the Eisenhower Lock in Massena, NY and ending at Presque Isle in Erie, PA. Took pics of 39 lights along the Seaway and stayed at 6 different campgrounds--LOVE that RV!!
Spent some time at Fort Niagara and chatted with one of their guides relative to where on the site the original light was located--atop the main building at the edge of the cliffs. He said that BY had been there twice in recent years taking pictures, etc. and the guide hoped HL would eventually replicate the original light. It would be a spectacular piece and would have to be at least as big as Navesink to do it justice. We took some great pictures and I'm hoping to eventually find out how to get them posted here. (Tried once and failed and haven't had time to follow-up with another try but I shall persevere as soon as work slows!)
