Well Bob to get to this lighthouse here's what you have to do. First you have to get to the tip of the thumb of Wisconsin. Then you have to take a car ferry to Washington Island. Then you drive across the island to catch a passenger ferry to
Rock Island. (There are no vehicles allowed on this island.) Then you have to walk about a mile out to the lighthouse. The trail to the light has a steep hill to conquer near it's beginning, then it's not bad.

Last Saturday the Wackos who were on a boat tour of the island lighthouses got dropped off at the dock at Rock Island.

If you miss the boat, or last ferry, of the day you're stuck on the island.
