J&D's Travelog - Northern New England Lighthouses 2008

Lighthouses
of Northern
New England

July and October 2008

Building upon last year's tour of southern New England lighthouses, we decided to continue the tradition this year and visit those lights dotting the coastline north of Boston. It would be a tough road to hoe seeing that there were some 70 plus lighthouses ahead of us, but many of them were along the Maine coastline which consists of so many islands and inlets that make driving from point to point a half-day event. It took four full weekends spread over several months, but we managed nearly 40 of them, including a couple in Canada. The remainder are accessible only by boat, so they will have to wait for another time. But after two years of visiting lighthouses, we've pretty much had our fill for awhile. Maybe we will move on to something else, like, say, covered bridges.
