Thanks for sharing your pictures with us Sandy. Is that you waving at us at West Quoddy? That lighthouse sure looks great after it's recent painting.

Yep, that's me. Stan insists on taking a picture with me in front--says it will be my "signature" indicating that I was there.
West Quoddy does look nice, doesn't it. We were there in July of 2003 but the pictures were awful and you can barely make out the tower stripes in the fog that was there that day. We weren't even able to see Lubec or Mulholland, and East Quoddy Head's tower (red cross only) is visible through the fog. The weather was much better this time--at least on the day these were taken.

Hi Sandy,
Great pictures of some of my favorite places!
Did you go down all the steps to actually get over to East Quoddy?
It looks as though they cut down some of the trees near the lighthouse. When I was there the trees were grown up around it so you really couldn't see it too good. It was before the stairs had beeb redone and they went straight up and down with some broken rungs. We didn't attempt to go over. It was too scary!

Kay,
We were there in July of 2003 and Stan ventured over to the LH site. The tide was out (requirement to navigate the treacherous slimey rocks and ladder rungs) and vowed he'd never try that again. Needless to say, even tho' the weather was much clearer than it was in 2003, "He Who Takes Chances Even Tho' He Has An Extruded Disk" let me know (even tho' I hadn't asked) that he had no intention of going to the site this time. (Besides, the tide was in!!)

Thanks for sharing your nice photos. When we were at West Quoddy there was scaffolding around the tower which didn't make for memorable photos! It really is a beauty. Judy
