I've never been called a "newbie" before; but I guess I are one now.
I've often visited this site and find it to be very informative. Now I can join in.
My wife and I are Avid collectors of harbour Lights we currently have 55 in our collection. We try to see the ones that we have or are planning to get.
We are attempting to plan a short notice trip to Maine next month on the 12th. Any advise on where to begin would be greatly appreciated. We will fly into Portland, unless we should begin elsewhere,on the 12th and depart on the 17th.
Forgive me for beginning this forum with a favor, but I really could use the suggestions.
Thanks a hillbilly bunch.

Rick- In Portland you are in L/H heaven as far as being near so many. Depends on which direction and how "wacko" you are in L/H viewing. We did the whole New England coast last year and suggest two guides. "Maine Lighthouses" by Courtney Thompson and "America's Atlantic Coast Lighthouse:A traverer's Guide" by Kenneth G. Kochel. both give good directions to the L/H's.
Good Luck with you trip.It is a wonderful area for L/H viewing.

Wish we could offer some advice for your trip but we haven't been to Maine yet. Just wanted to say Hi :, and welcome you to the forums. It is a great place to share things with friends who share stuff right back to you. Hope your trip is a sucess. Have a great time. Let us know how it goes.

Here's a past lighthousing trip that might be helpful. http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/forums/Forum15/HTML/000057.html

You will love Main can't wait till we can go back, if you get to Camden and need a place to stay try Elms B&B it's great and there Lighthouse people he gives tours in a boat of lights and a lot of imfo and you will have to go to Well's and check out Lighthouse Depot word of warning beprepared to spend $$$ they have a lot of great stuff.
