Re: How many have you seen - 01/25/00 10:42 PM

Let's see..we just spent the past weekend finishing up the east coast of NJ so that's Sandy Hook, Navesink, Sea Girt, Barnegat, Absecon, Hereford Inlet, and Cape May.
In NY I've seen the Hudson River lights- Jeffrey's Hook, Tarrytown, Stony Point, Esopus Meadows, Kingston, Saugerties, and Hudson-Athens.
DE- Delaware Breakwater, Harbor of Refuge and Fenwick Island.
OH- Marblehead, Lorain, and Cleveland Harbor.
And Canada- In British Columbia- Fisgard, Atkinson Point, Brockton Point,Portlock Point and Active Pass- In Nova Scotia- Peggy's Cove. That's all since August 1999.
This summer it's off to the Outer Banks with Art the Cruise Director's intinerary to see a whole bunch more. And I'd like to get out to Long Island one of these days to see the ones out there. I have been putting together a scrap book with all the pictures of the lighthouses my husband and I have seen. It's great fun!! Glad to see others with a passion for lighthouses!! I guess I'm not alone!

For those who've visited so many they need help remembering them, here's a list of known lighthouses in the US:
www.harbourlights.com/downloads/remaining_lights.txt

There's an explanation there of how the list was created.

Re: How many have you seen - 02/06/00 08:57 AM

I am so glad you asked this question Larry. Michael and I have had so much fun trying to recall all of them and remembering all the things that happened at each.

If we ever get the list finished, I'll post it. We got carried away with our list and have many with sideline notes next to them. I'll have to clean up our list and get it up sometime. And there are still some out there that we can't remember.

Thanks for bringing back some really great memories.

Has anyone else ever been to Linoma Lighthouse in Nebraska? It's halfway between Omaha and Lincoln, thus the name Linoma!?! It is one of our best memories! Little did we ever think we'd spot a lighthouse across a corn field in the heart of Nebraska!

Re: How many have you seen - 02/07/00 10:12 PM

We started our list in June of 1999.

NJ 9
MD 12
Del 1
NY 8
Fla 2

In September of 2000 we are headed for Northeast Canada and hope add many New England Canda lighthouses.

Re: How many have you seen - 02/11/00 07:13 PM

I have been concentrating on getting as many of the lighthouses in Massachusetts photgraphed. I just started last year, but here is the count:

Mass: 29
Ct: 3

I "know" I have seen more, but I cannot remember which ones by name. So that means another trip to check them off. I also need a visit to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket to add those to my list. Cape Cod is almost "done", Cape Ann is done, and the next trip is to get the rest of the North Shore of Ma.
Posted By: Augie K.

Re: How many have you seen - 02/11/00 08:43 PM

I have seen the following lighthouses:

ME: 8
NH: 3
NY: 2

Have some trips planned for this spring/summer to MA and CT, the list will be growing.

Re: How many have you seen - 02/13/00 09:15 PM

Larry - I love Holland. Afraid I'm beyond remembering them all. I've actually returned to some thinking I hadn't been there only to recall it upon arrival. I'm more concerned with the ones I haven't seen; which is a bunch. Once I retire????

Re: How many have you seen - 02/16/00 06:42 AM

My experiences of viewing lighthouses is as "NEWBIE" as I am. We took our summer vacation last year and saw Tybee Island and Cockspur, Sea Pines, Hunting Island, and Old Charleston. That's all it took for us to get HOOKED on lighthouses. We are looking forward to Memorial Day weekend where we plan on seeing all the Outer Banks LH and a couple in Va. on the way back home.

Is it too late to add one that I forgot? I know we're not supposed to name them here but...think one dated 40AD deserves a mention?

I just checked my photo album and I found a couple pictures of my own!
