Can you identify a lighthouse by its stairs? One guess per person per day.

Currituck Beach? Looks like her worn white paint and Green Stairs.

Here's another one. Same rules. One guess per day per person. Eric, you're ineligible. There may be a 'playoff' before the 'Super Stairway Bowl.'

If I'm right Greg should get the credit for this one as he said it first.
Is it OLD Cape Henry?

OK, I'll give it to Greg, with an assist from Stephanie. Greg is in the playoffs; Stephanie can guess again. Here's #3: I've got a total of 10 images. Maybe more if I can dig up some of my prints.

Trust me, I wasn't about to forget OCH. We climbed it before they redid the lantern (someone had a stroke up there, and the EMTs couldn't get through the tiny hatches), and I could barely fit through. We were shoving my dad through the hole. Then we sweated to death while we took pictures...it was the only time in my life that I wanted to get out of a lantern room.

Mombo's got it - she'll be in the playoffs. No more guesses, Sue. Here's the next one: #4 There's a hint there in this picture. Study it carefully.

Oops. I made a mistake. #3 is NOT St. Augustine. Sue you are back in and can guess again in 12 minutes.
#3 is open to all at this point.

Well, Eric:
You COULD have emailed me as did Dave Hannum. You were out of the guessing cause you won #1.
So I'll negate #3 - no contest. Still open is #4. If not correctly guessed in 24 hours, I'll post a hint.

No reason we can't have more than one going at the same time: Here's the next one: #5 If not guessed in 24 hours, I'll post a hint. Remember when you post a guess to say WHICH ONE you are guessing.

Here's a hint on #4. That stairway is going into a 'tube' in the ceiling. That should give you an idea of what kind of lighthouse this may be.

Mombo - right state, wrong lake. Bob - right state, wrong type of lighthouse. (depending on which # you are guessing, I guess.)

Bob - you're in! No more guesses. That hint showed the bottom of the 'tube' that runs up the middle of skeleton-type lighthouses. Photo taken during the 1998 tour of New Jersey lighthouses after the Providence Reunion. (Roy must be asleep; is that Ruthie in the background? And who IS that blurry guy?) Hint on #6: Harbour Lights has made this Lake Michigan lighthouse.

While we're still doing #6 and #7... Here's #8 These stairs aren't necessarily the ones that lead into the lantern room, but they are within the lighthouse. They might be in better condition these days. This photo was taken in 2001.

Brian and Mombo are WINNERS! No more guesses from you two. You'll be in the Stairway Super Bowl. Point Lookout MD "Climb those stairs and you'll look out at the water." And Mombo got hers by trial and error. (Or was she throwing darts at a map of Michigan?) Still looking for a winner for #7 Here's #9: This may be a tough one so I'll start off with a hint. As far as I know, only one WACKO has ever seen these stairs in person. (And it wasn't me.)

Wouldn't that be 9?
Also, I'm going to take a stab at it and say #7 is Cape Rozier, Quebec?

Should have been #9 - you're right.
#7 is not Cape Rosier - all the stairs I have are USA Lights.
Hints for #7: Climb the tower and things will look rosie. Look down from above and see Coasties cozy.
