How'd you get on the base to get the shot of Saint John's?

Ditto Cape Canaveral?

Derith "Pixie" is one of the original members of the Forums.. She has a talent for getting into lights that seem almost impossible to get into.. She was one of the founding members of the Tampa Bay HL club, I could go on and on but let's just say Sue and I are proud to have her as a good friend..



Reposting the image of Bob after he climbed Cedar (Seahorse) Key light..


Sandy, Derith "Pixie" is shown here taking a picture of me taking a picture of her at Cedar (Seahorse) Key light..

And I gather that she apparently wishes to remain somewhat anonymous. . . .

Gather she's been around for a long time--why is she a "newbie" with only 14 posts?

Sandy

P.S. I don't want to move away from the topic, but I'm intrigued.

She built a new account after being off the boards for a while. Derith went by the user name "Nana" and had been around since the preforum days.

She has a great way with people and can get access to a lot of "off limits" lights just by being herself. Also she takes being told "No" as a challenge.

Dave Hannum can tell you just how long I have been around...since he insists I am older than dirt....but I have never thought of myself as elusive...

As screen name Nana, Derith had a post count of 2310 posts.. So her current total would be 2321 posts hardly a newbie..

I've emailed Pixie and told her I could merge her accounts. But she's not responded to me yet. Maybe she'll check her email or spam folder now??? Or maybe she wants a 'fresh start'

Question...For Amelia Island, did you take the tour, or were you brave enough to cross that wooded lot?

I'm going back to Florida in August, and I hope to get good pictures of Amelia Island, Mayport, and St. Johns.

The town now gives tours of Amelia Island. The lightkeepers daughter gave us a presentation and then told us some great stories. They opened up the LH but you couldn't climb. They took us back and forth by a town van.

There are houses and streets all around and I didn't see anything to stop you from driving right up to take a photo.
