Hi again,

Because the thread "Christmas Lighthouse Hunting From West Tennessee" was getting rather large (and therefor taking pretty long to download & open) I decided to put the trip maps here, in their own thread. I have now completed posting the photos to that other thread. If you haven't visited there recently, please drop by for a look. More photos can be viewed by clicking on the links embedded in that thread. Please let me know (by e-mail) if you find any links that don't work or if you have any other suggestions.

The map links below will open in a new window; simply close that window to return here. Mapquest also has interactive mapping features that allow you to zoom in or out, recenter map in the window, etc., but I have been unable to link to interactive maps here directly. You can check out Mapquest with all it's features at: http://www.mapquest.com .

Day 2

Cape Henry Lighthouses.

Click here for Cape Henry, VA area map (This is NOT a mapquest map; it does not have a mapquest link)

Click here for Fort Story (Cape Henry), VA detail map (This is NOT a mapquest map; it does not have a mapquest link)

Each map beyond this point opens with a Mapquest logo at the top. This logo is an active link that will take you directly to mapquest.com if you click on it, should you want to explore on your own.

Well, this didn't work out anywhere near as well as I'd hoped! I had hoped that I could post (fewer) interactive maps so you could zoom for yourself, instead of having to post all of the above clutter. But then, cluttering up the Forums is one of the things I do best! :-D

Art - it's a very good start, and we appreciate all the effort you've put into reporting, and including photos and now maps.

Thanks, Art.
I can really appreciate someone who can follow a project from start to finish.
I enjoyed every step of your journey, and plan on utilizing your trip plans in the near future.
Thanks again.

I had trouble with the maps. I got a new window with the message, "Map size unspecified: don't have both width & height."

Still enjoyed reading about your travels.

Mapsters,

If you experience the same funky message Polly describes, the problem is not on your end. We may or may not be able to resolve it. If you have an immediate need to see the maps in Art's helpful post, you may have best luck by directly going to http://www.mapquest.com .

Thank you Polly for the info. And thank you Tim for the help.

All readers: Sorry about the technical difficulties. I'll try to get them resolved soon. If/ when I do, I will make a reply to this topic to notify you. Thanks for visiting.

Well, one of the wonderful things about the world of computing is that there is always more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

I've revamped the maps above, and I believe them to be (a) working now, and (b) in compliance with the terms of use per Mapquest. If anyone discovers anything to the contrary, keep it to yourself! ;-D (just kidding -- please e-mail me if you find anything skwewy.)

[If at first you don't succeed...]

NICE JOB, Art!!! how about posting in the "Forum on these Forums" hw you did it?

Your wish is my command.

Excellent maps! I would say they are a piece of "Art".

Now I only hope I'll get to use them some day.

Just saving a few "oldy but goody" threads from the eventual wrecking ball.
