here's another clue

Good one.

Bob I know you have been there. I was there with you. The tower was closed due to repair work when we were there.

another clue

Out of Town

SC/GA area

One of you ought to just say it already.
Even I know it now. (Boy was I off base. Those palms trees can fool you.)

St Simons Island GA

New England?

looks familiar???????????

how about inside????????

de ja vue

So...you got into Race Point?

Yes, I did!

I have not yet been inside a cast iron lighthouse. Several skeletons, but no coffee pots. I will get one up this evening.

I've been in several and they're very deceiving. Some have several floors with keeper rooms Spring Ledge Portland; Cape Canaveral is extremly tall LOL; interiors are usually brick;

Thanks for the PDF Bob. Just glancing at it, looks like it has pictures of areas you never see. Very interesting!

Next lighthouse...

I think after 6 days we need some more Laura??????

Here you go Bob...

I'm sure I.ve been here but that entrance is not 'ringing any bells."

I don't have any bells for you... but this is nearby.

Are the two lanterns still inside the wooden fence? I haven't been there since 2003.

Yes they are. Will you name that lighthouse? I knew you would know this one Eric.

You mean these don't you?

Yeah I guess I should have called them rotating beacons, but you knew what they were. OK I'll bite. Egmont Key, Fl

The interior stairs for those keeping score.

You got it Eric. I didn't get inside, but it was a nice ferry ride to the key, then a picnic lunch in the shade by the lighthouse and a stroll on the beautiful beach. Dolphins on our way back to the mainland.

my view LOL

I would love to go back there again. There is snorkeling on the ocean side (top of your pic) to the south (left side). Lots of shells...just a nice place to spend time.

All right class settle down, let us begin today's lesson.

Either a REALLY skinny lighthouse or a light ship. No idea which light ship.

That one

Chesapeake LS


pure guess

Chesapeake floats on water, this lightship floats on concrete.

Delaware???

try virginia

Oh, the one in between the buildings LOL!

Portsmouth Lightship Viginia

Bob you are correct.

Stars & Stripes for the 4TH!

Mayo Beach is correct!

Closer view of a beautiful second order fresnel still in use.

Beautiful!!

Ireland?

Not Ireland.

A bit more...

Not placing rusty tower??? You'd think I'd remember that one. Eric will remind me....

tunnel

and a bridge

Okay, what's the name???

Point Bonita CA

You got it Bob. I love it when I can fool you just a bit, with a lighthouse I know you've seen. Sorry I don't have a final picture available right now. I will get one up here later.

Supposedly the bridge is now open. I am hoping to cross it in about 3 weeks. Final picture

Thanks, I appreciate the challenge Laura! It makes it fun. I knew it was west coast, and checked all WA & OR the 1st day, lol.

Next LH opps Lightship

Those are hard...sounds like Eric's bailiwick.

No Laura, you probably saw it

that wasn't very helpful

Nope, don't think I have seen it. I may have found it by accident though...not sure.

more

think 17

The 17 did not help.... LV117 sank in 1934 after a collision with the Olympic, 4 men survived. Lightship Ambrose is at Pier 17 in New York, but only has 4 portholes across the front - yours has 5. I thought maybe it was Relief in San Fransisco, but can find no "17" associated with it.

Reveal

My mistake - The lightship is docked at Pier 66 Maritime

So where is the 17???
I believe this is LV 115 Frying Pan Shoals, docked at Pier 66 in NYC. Still no 17 though.

Well, you made me laugh! Moral of the story - beware of Bob's clues.
