I had a belated reaction. My first lighthouse was Portland Head, but it wasn't until 3 years later when I went to Hilton Head (Sea Pines) that I caught the bug. That was in April of this year and since then I've taken 6 trips that were at least partially planned around seeing lighthouses. I am up to 48 at this point and will add more in Oct when I go to Cape May and at least Hereford Inlet in NJ.I've also bought way too many, well not quite enough, Harbour Lights since May. Dennis
