Paul, as you are heading out of town on 79 south, just as you are going up the big hill there is a "lovers leap" that should provide a photo op from about 1 mile away, since you and the lighthouse will be on hills you will be overlooking downtown. Also if you notice the flood wall around downtown, if was just finished a few months before the great flood of 93' where the water crested only a few inches from the top of the wall.
