Here's a good one..let's see how many lighthouses UNDER 40 feet we can find.

Rules:

-All lights must be in US
-Must provide a link which states the height
-One post person/day.

I'll start with the 23' tall Derby Wharf, MA Light.

Have fun with this game! laugh

One of my favorites!

25' Isle La Motte, VT

As a matter of fact I spoke with one of the owners, Rob Clark, just today. He said they're in the process of repainting the tower the bright orange color that somehow fades to pink.
