Entering the lighthouse is like stepping back a few generations. First is the kitchen. Kurt
offered to warm up the coffee if I’d like some. Sure why not? Here’s the gas stove he used.
Just across from the stove is the sink complete with an old fashioned pump. They bring over drinking water. Otherwise the water comes right out of the river. (Don't know which was used for the coffee but it tasted pretty good!)
The front of the first floor in the main house is a combination dining/living area. Everything was very homey and these rooms were just chock-a-block full of “stuff”! Here’s a view of the living room.
There are two bedrooms in the rear of the ground floor. Once you reach the 2nd floor one short stairway leads toward a small front landing and two fairly large bedrooms. Another leads towards the rear and two smaller bedrooms. This place could easily sleep 14 if you didn’t mind close quarters. This is Christine’s bedroom, Christine being the owner according to Kurt.
This is the entry to one of the rear bedrooms.
Up we went some more and Kurt opened a door which revealed an area up under the front roof which seemed to at some time also have been used as sleeping quarters. I think he called it the rat room or some such name. He showed me how there were still remnants of a long ago wallpaper job, the remaining paper stuck up onto the rafters. He
also said that when his family first bought the lighthouse there were holes clear through to the roof. From this level the ladder leads up to the lantern room.
Up we went as Kurt slam banged the hatchway open. The pedestal’s still there if a bit rusty.
(Next we’ll go outside.)
Are you going to tell us how you were able to get here?
I can relate a little with Long Beach Bar. Did you ask them if they'd put the Mombo touches that are on the HL LE?
