I'm excited about the announcement work on a HL piece for Cape Hatteras "on the move". Is it possible that there will be a special event to coincide with an official ceremony at the end of the move? It appears from the National Park Services schedule that Memorial Day 2000 would be a memorable release date. I have cut some of the remaining events of the move from National Park Service move timeline from their Web site.

In May, the shoring towers will be removed and the lighthouse lifted onto the track steel and roller dollies.

In June, the lighthouse will be lowered onto the track and transport to the new site will be initiated. Transporting the lighthouse about 1/2 mile is estimated to take approximately 4 to 6 weeks.

The Lighthouse is scheduled to arrive at its' new location in mid July.

Bob Reynolds, Superintendent of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore said, "My goal is to have the light station and the lighthouse open for public use by Memorial Day of 2000."
