Yep, another part!

Currently on Florida. You can also post un-posted lights from the other states.

You all know I'm gona post this one!

Cedar Key, FL

Fort Jefferson (Garden Key, Tortugas Harbor) LH, FL--both the remains of the original and the present standing one.

Fowey Rocks LH, FL

Sand Key LH, FL

Sombrero Key (Dry Banks) LH, FL.

OK, well I know there's folks around who've seen more FL lighthouses but I guess they aren't checking in right now. Soooo....in order to give St. John some competition in the Games Forum perhaps it's time to move on to a state that has quite a number of lighthouses......Michigan!!!

We'll start with the more difficult ones -
St. Helena

Okay, you can count me out for...(does math)...about 5 years. :rolleyes:

Boca Grande, FL

One of my favorites seen last summer:

Rock of Ages Light, MI

Fourteen Foot Shoal

Passage Island, MI

Big Bay, MI

Menagerie Island, MI

Eagle Harbor, MI

Poe Reef

We were able to see this light by an aerial flyover.

14 Mile Point, MI

Marquette Harbor, MI

I know there are a lot more people out there that have seen Michigan lighthouses.

Point Betsie, MI

Fort Gratiot, my hometown light!

White River, MI

Peche Island MI (Marine City MI)

Little Sable, MI

Copper Harbor, MI

I thought we had a lot of forum members from Michigan....

St. Martin Island, MI

Holland (Big Red), MI

Poverty Island, MI

Come on, guys! I know there are people out there who have seen unposted lights. There's 116 lights in Michigan. We have barely skimmed the top!

I'm seeing too many posts by Lorie, Paul, and Sandy in a row here. I personally can't help out, as I have only been to Michigan in that dream the other night, but I know there are plenty of those who have visited consciously!

Greg, some of us choose to lay back for two reasons (1) to not dominate, so others can participate; Having been to 350+ lights in the US (and another 15 or so in Canada, eh), I can often contribute at least a few, but I would rather see a person who doesn't post often jump in there and see how easy it is to participate. And, (2) quite frankly I'm not going to scroll thru a hundred posts to find out if a light has been posted already.

Little Traverse Lighthouse located on Little Traverse Bay, 3 miles across the bay from our home!

If we could get more people to post here (old timers and newbies) we could get through Michigan much faster. :rolleyes:

Eagle River, MI

Bete Grise, MI

Ontonagon, MI

Still me again.

Keweenaw Lower Entry, Mi (pier light)

At this rate I could go to Michigan, see some lights and report back before Lorie finishes the state!

Sue...you did see 2 Michigan lights on the boat trip to Potawatomi: Poverty Island and St. Martin Island. There were a boat load of WACKOS on Lake Superior last Aug. that I know could be posting here.

Sand Hills, MI

Perhaps we should put Michigan aside for now, and pick it up later? A new state might help to pick the game back up.

OK, Greg... Let's do Missouri. I haven't been to the lighthouse in Missouri, so someone else will have to post that one.

www.LighthouseStickers.com/stickers/MO_stickers.htm

Wow John, I think that's the only state with more stickers than lighthouses.

Well you know Lorie I was thinking of those two when we did Wisconsin, but decided that maybe they were Michigan lights even though the Shanklins list them as being in Wisco. Then when we started Michigan I forgot about them. Oh well.

It just doesn't seem that more than a handful want to do this so maybe I'll just let it ride and maybe try again another time.

To quote Simon and Garfunkel, we had a groovey thing goin', it just ran dry after a while. We simply ran out of sufficient states.

Maybe we can bring it back one day...the thing about the games forum is that it is a constant revolving door, with games dying and being born daily.
