I can certainly understand your frustration, Eric. It is terribly disappointing not to be able to see everything you want to see, especially at a site which is normally totally off limits to the public. You want to take advantage of an event which will allow you access where you can't go as an individual. I agree with Bob that it does appear that the right person was not contacted. Usually, the "right" person is much more responsive to a tour group of lighthouse preservationists and collectors. They know that we are cautious, careful, and respectful when we enter such a site. Security can be dealt with by the right person, as well. It's too bad that you had to come away so diappointed.
